Chapter 21: The Autumn Breeze Rises

At dinner, Shen Congyun sat on the top, Ning Xuan was drunk and woke up, knowing that he was speechless in the afternoon, and he ate in a proper manner, but he couldn't help but quietly look at his father's expression with the corner of his eye. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The meal was solemn and quiet, everyone was speechless, and Yichen also dealt with the food in his bowl carefully and slowly, and he only hated to end it immediately and fled back to his room.

Towards the end, Shen Congyun put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked seemingly casually, "What did you talk about when you drank at noon?" ”

Seeing that it was about to be the prelude to the coming storm, Ning Xuan hurriedly put down his chopsticks and replied: "I didn't talk about anything, I just talked about my interesting anecdotes in the frontier." ”

Shen Congyun's face was straight, and Ning Xuan hurriedly replied: "Also, also, there are some things I have seen and heard since I entered the palace on duty. ”

"What did you see after you entered the palace and were on duty?!" Shen Congyun let out a cold snort from his nose: "You have followed me to the frontier for some training, your ability has not increased, and you have practiced a lot, and you actually dare to follow the lady in the palace!" It's really a thing that doesn't know whether to live or die, if you pour two taels of yellow soup, you don't know how thick the sky is, no matter how close that Changyou is to you, that is also the younger brother of Concubine Hua, do you want to kill our whole family, you can't kill your sister? ! ”

Ning Xuan was so frightened that he didn't dare to answer again, and Yi Chen didn't dare to speak, Rushuang went late in the afternoon, he didn't know what was going on, and when he saw his father's rare anger, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he just sat down in a regular manner. The aunt came out to play a round: "Okay, okay, just reprimand, don't scare the children." Xuan'er, you must remember in the future, on duty in the palace, no matter what you see or hear, you must treat it as if you don't know, let alone take it out of the palace, then any carelessness will be a monstrous disaster. ”

The uncle snorted coldly again: "A loving mother is a loser, that is, you have connived at him since childhood." Suddenly, the conversation changed, but it was Xiang Rushuang and Yichen who said: "You two are the same, if you go to the palace in the future, remember not to talk too much, so as not to cause death without knowing when!" ”

Yi Chen sighed in his heart, there was something in his uncle's words, how could Rushuang and her go to the palace?

My aunt hurriedly asked, "Isn't there something going on in the court?" ”

The uncle replied: "Originally, it was not a big deal, this autumn is a triennial draft, and the emperor has just issued an edict, because of my father's mourning, so that it will be changed to next spring." ”

There was still a little joy in my uncle's disapproval: "This is the emperor's grace, and the emperor still remembers his father's contributions to Jiangshan Sheji." ”

"A woman's opinion!" Uncle reprimanded: "Do you still think that the emperor didn't roast our Shen family on the fire?" During this time, you also gave me a low profile, and instructed Shen An to refuse all the door posts that came to visit, and no one would be seen without my orders. ”

After that, the house was really cleaner, and Yichen didn't hear her aunt mention the lunch break that day, Xu Suyue didn't say anything, and she didn't dare to indulge anymore.

Time passed, Shen Congyun entered the palace every day and was busy with state affairs, and Ning Xuan was also serious on duty and did not dare to slack off. Most of the time, only the uncle and aunt were left with Rushuang and Yichen and a group of slaves and maids in the Dingguo Marquis's mansion, reading poems and books in their spare time, and occasionally practicing dance and embroidery. The days are clean and peaceful, but with Chen's lame embroidery skills, it has not grown much with the time at all.

In the blink of an eye, it is autumn, and the frost leaves are thick.

At breakfast this morning, Uncle Rushuang's mother wanted to go to the "Guanghua Temple" with Yichen to burn incense and enjoy the red leaves. I think I often went there in previous years, but my aunt agreed, and said that your sister was born in the south, and she must have never seen the beauty of the red leaves in the north, and it is also excellent to take her to play, but it is more reassuring to let Uncle Shen arrange a few family members to accompany the guards. If the frost hurriedly refused, it was said that a group of family members followed it but it was unsafe, and it was not enjoyable to play, so it was better to bring a maid with Yichen each. The aunt didn't allow it, and in the end, both sides gave in and took the sisters together when Ning Xuan was not on duty.

On this day, Ning Xuan rested, and promised to accompany Rushuang and Yichen to go to the "Guanghua Temple" to play, and set off after breakfast and dinner. Considering that he had to walk in the mountains and forests, Yichen asked Su Yue to wait for him to change into a relatively light set of clothes. Since it is still in the one-year filial piety period, it is appropriate to wear plain and dignified clothes up and down, so I only picked a plain white and simple show girl dress. After resting for a while, a porter came to report that the carriage was ready and waiting outside the gate.

As soon as he left the mansion, he saw Duan Changyou Yushu's figure standing in front of the carriage, Rushuang and the maid Qiu Jing had already arrived, talking to him. Yi Chen was slightly stunned, presumably Ning Xuan invited him to go with him, but he didn't see Ning Xuan's figure, he said some nonsense that day, and I don't know if Duan Changyou went to his heart. Duan Changyou smiled and nodded to Yi Chen, the so-called humble gentleman is indeed appropriate for him, Yi Chen slowly returned the salute to him: "Duan Gongzi is good." ”

"You are like Rushuang, just call me Brother Changyou. The two families of Shen Duan are world friends, and we are both young people, so we don't have to be so different. I'll call you Chen'er with them, do you think? ”

Rushuang also said: "It's hard to come out to play, so let's not be restrained, just have fun." ”

Before Yi Chen could speak, Ning Xuan had already rushed over and replied: "This time it is as you wish, there is both fun and someone to accompany you, Chen'er don't worry, take a good rest in the car all the way, and my brother will take you to a fun place." ”

Rushuang's pink face suddenly turned red with shame, but Rushui Qiutong quickly glanced at Duan Changyou, turned around and got into the carriage with Qiu Jing's hand, and Yichen also followed.

The carriage moved slowly through the city, and Yi Chen lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out curiously at the capital, which had lived for several months but was still unfamiliar. Sure enough, it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, looking up, all the way merchants and tourists gather, shops and wine shops are lined up, and even many small vendors on the side of the road are selling many novel and beautiful, unnamed things, the prosperous scene, how can the small Suyang City and Weizhou City be compared. Rushuang also seemed very excited, and she was very enthusiastic with Qiu Jing and Su Yue, and you introduced her to all kinds of delicious and fun places in Chao'an City, and she was yearning for it.

After leaving the city, Rushuang lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Duan Changyou and Ning Xuan also slowed down their pace, chatting with her on the left and right of the carriage, laughing and laughing along the way, they were very happy. Most of the time, Yi Chen just smiled lightly, but she didn't participate, Ning Xuan and Rushuang knew that she didn't talk much, and she didn't care. Ning Xuan rode a big horse with a red body, the body of the horse was more than higher than that of an adult woman, fat and strong, beautiful and beautiful, and the kicking sound was full of rhythm and strength, solid and powerful. This is a purebred Hun horse that once galloped with him in the frontier fortresses. Yi Chen suddenly became envious, if she was a man, if she knew how to ride, she could ride a horse and gallop in the mountains and countryside, instead of being trapped in the car so delicately and weakly, but she was just a woman, and she didn't dare to say more and do more.
