The night was dark, and the mansion of the eldest princess of Dezhao was also quiet. The lights had been turned off in the www.biquge.info of the pen, and there was still a few sparse glimmers on the porches of a few small courtyards.

The residence of King He and his wife Liu is one of them.

Liu embroidered flowers in front of the lamp. Her close-fitting girl Duo Lan entered the door lightly, and picked out the white candle burning in the table lamp with tweezers. This candle is made from the body fat of a fattened river fish, which emits a mild white light when burned, and has a faint fragrance, so it is expensive because it is not easy to obtain and make.

Liu Shi rubbed his eyes: "Uncle hasn't come back yet?" Dui Lan felt sorry for his wife for a moment: "Changqing in the front yard said that the uncle went to Anfu Street. "Anfu Street is the maiden home of Anhe's noble concubine Jiang Ranran.

Liu's hand embroidering the belt paused, took out a pair of scissors from the sewing basket, and cut the embroidery that had been embroidered for three days into pieces in a few clicks. Dui Lan was startled, and was about to go up to grab it, but Liu had already put down the scissors.

She sneered twice at the shards on the table: "He treats me like nothing like this, how can I have a little majesty as a wife!" Thinking of today, the eldest princess ignored her mother's hints in the open and secret, and even wanted to break her up when she talked to Shen Lin'an, only to feel that she had been fed to the dog for many years of courtesy!

"It's not the first time that my mother has mentioned the marriage of the two families, even if she doesn't look down on the children of the Liu family, she doesn't look down on the Li family! I know that her motherly affection can't bear to let her daughter suffer, but isn't it all for marriage that your family raises their daughters? ”

Liu was very aggrieved in his heart: "Her daughter is a treasure, and other people's men can't do it?" What's more, this marriage is not only beneficial to my mother's family, even if it is for the sake of Uncle and Ze'er, what can a daughter do! Doesn't she still have to rely on our uncle to provide for him in his old age! ”

What he said was disrespectful to his mother-in-law and sister-in-law, which can be said to be unfilial. Dui Lan didn't dare to agree, only said that it was too late and asked her to sleep. Liu threw the needle and thread: "Forget it, how about being so diligent!" "Freshen up and go to sleep.

Another place where the lights have not been turned off is the main room where the eldest princess is located.

Different from the bright white light at Liu's place, the eldest princess only lit a dimly lit oil candle in front of the couch, which was shrouded in a small green cloth, leaving only a hazy lump. She sat on the feet of the low couch, and in the dim light, she stroked the polished carved wooden box on her lap with her bare hands.

The silence of the room lasted for a long time before a soft sigh overflowed in the deep silence of the princess's mansion.

Compared with the princess's mansion where the lights go out early at night and get up early during the day, the lifestyle of the Shen Mansion is obviously more casual. Therefore, Shen Lin'an, who was accustomed to the leisurely life of the Shen Mansion, got up gloriously in the morning.

When she woke up, the princess's mansion had already eaten breakfast. Shen Lin'an was embarrassed to comb under the smiling gaze of the female officer, but the more nervous she was, the more flustered she became. I had to calm down, I was already up late anyway, but I was just laughed at by them.

Sure enough, she was laughed at, and as soon as she arrived at the main courtyard, the eldest princess took her hand and asked, "How is the bed in my princess's mansion?" But comfortable? Shen Lin'an replied generously: "Lin'an had a beautiful dream yesterday. ”

"Oh?" The eldest princess became interested: "What dream? Shen Lin'an naturally took the opportunity to divert the topic: "I dreamed that the bayberry in the Imperial Garden was ripe." The eldest princess also said a few words in passing, and the atmosphere was happy for a while.

After a while, the palace maid came to report that An He and the Liu family were coming, Shen Linan smiled and got up to say hello, who expected that An He snorted coldly. The eldest princess was a little unhappy at that time, and then saw that the distance between him and his wife could put one person down, and there was something wrong with her heart.

It's just that the mother of the little couple is not good and always interferes, so she only corrects the cold snort: "Speak well, what is it like!" ”

An He's face was almost dripping with ink, he glared at Shen Lin'an fiercely, and was about to speak, when the little lion ran in: "Sister An An, my father is angry because you said he cried his nose!" ”

Shen Lin'an was stunned: "Okay, you little lion, you betrayed me like this!" "The little lion looked innocent and got into the arms of the eldest princess.

An He said in a tense voice: "Shen Xibai! When did I cry because I couldn't go to the flower boat! Shen Lin'an had the heart to joke with him: "When you were fifteen years old, An Xian and Liu Cheng went to Huaxi without taking you, and you were crying on the dock!" "An Xian is An He's cousin, and Liu Cheng is his cousin. Anhe jumped to his feet: "I'm crying in the wind!" ”

"That's not tears! Who cares how you stream! An He choked, and the eldest princess coughed, and he looked away.

After sitting for a while, Shen Lin'an and the eldest princess borrowed a name sticker and went home, and An He reluctantly rode a horse to see her off. He held his breath all the way to the door of the mansion before he spoke awkwardly: "What, how old were you when I was fifteen!" How can I remember this little thing! ”

Shen Lin'an muttered: "I was eight years old at that time, but I have never forgotten it since I was a child!" ”

"You can't talk nonsense in front of children! How did he know what a flower boat was! ”

"Then you can just ask him." Shen Linan waved his hand and entered the door.

It was only ten years later that An He learned what the so-called "flower boat" that Shen Lin'an explained to An Ze was, but at that time An Ze was already popular in Kyoto.

Shen Lin'an was in a good mood to enter the mansion, but he received a basin of cold water on his head: the eldest prince was found to be entrained in the examination and has been sent back to the mansion.

Shen Lin'an only felt that the momentum of the rush was unstoppable, and he was not busy packing up his things, so he asked someone to escort Shen Zhiqing to Moon Lake Xiaozhu.

Shen Zhiqing entered the door nervously, Shen Linan first asked someone to whip him twice, but he didn't resist, and obediently endured. Shen Lin'an asked, "Where did the things come from?" ”

"It came from nowhere, and it was caught in the clothes I wore yesterday."

"Why don't you check twice before entering!"

Shen Zhiqing lowered his head: "I have already checked it, but as soon as I entered the examination institute, I was caught." ”

"Do you know why?" Shen Lin'an sneered.

"Someone framed."

"You also know that a little trick like this can make you end up for the rest of your life."

Shen Zhiqing lowered his head in shame, but Shen Linan was not ready to let him go: "I have asked teachers to teach you to read and write and teach you mental skills for so many years, but it is not for people to calculate you casually!" ”

Shen Zhiqing was even more ashamed.

"You're nineteen years old, and you never have to worry about me on weekdays, so I'm so relieved of you! Do you now know who did it? ”

"I'm not sure yet."

Shen Linan sneered: "I'll give you two days to remember, and when the exam is over, there are still a lot of things you should do." ”

Shen Zhiqing bowed his head in response, and when Shen Lin'an finished speaking, he walked out of the Moon Lake Xiaozhu, looked up in the direction of the Tribute Courtyard, and there was a haze in his eyes.

Shen Lin'an was not idle, and wrote a letter to Cao Mo, the son of Taicheng Cao Xian, who supervised the Gongyuan this time, and sent it to Cao's mansion.
