That's right, Ah Xiang is afraid of the dark, and she has been like this since she was a child. Although I don't believe in ghosts and gods, I still get scared when I see a dark shadow somewhere in the dark at night.

Because of the huddle in the bed, that fear was relieved a lot. The noise outside faded away, and finally calmed down. Only the occasional sound of insects chirping outside the house, although it is almost spring, the temperature is not very high.

Ah Xiang closed her eyes, worried about her future.

Seeing the Shen family's joy at the dinner table today, Ah Xiang's eyes were astringent. I don't know how sad my family would be if they knew that she was no longer alive, my parents loved me very much. Now, she is in a different world. It is impossible for anyone to care for oneself anymore, and in the future, you will have to face the uncertainty of the future alone. Yes, others can't be relied on, and of course they can't find someone to rely on, only themselves, and they have to bear the pain and sorrow alone.

But what's next?

She is Shen Ruomeng's personal maid, and if Shen Ruomeng marries in the future, she will definitely marry. According to the development of the plot, Shen Ruomeng will marry a petty official, and he is still a person who is bound to have no future, according to what he watched, he should be condemned to what crime. Now it's in Shangshu Mansion, and the conditions are fine, but if you go to that kind of small mansion...... Let's not discuss this, as far as this Shen Ruomeng is concerned, she is actually a simple and kind lord, but it is because she is against the heroine that she has such a fate. Shen Ruomeng treats himself well, and he doesn't have any grand ambitions, just like he is now, just get by, if he can change Shen Ruomeng's fate, it will be good for him. If you can't, then there's no way, let it be, Ah Xiang is also a master who is at ease with what happens. Now I am mainly trying to remember what I watched at the time, but I can't remember everything I saw in a while.

Thinking like this, Ah Xiang gradually fell asleep.

Before it was full dawn, Ah Xiang was woken up by the noise outside - it was time to get up.

Ah Xiang rubbed her eyes, although she was a little sleepy, she still forced herself to get up, dress, and wash.

Sitting on a stool, worrying about the bronze mirror on the table. What to do with hair? She doesn't know how to comb a girl's hair! Coincidentally, Xiao Tao came in, and she was going to go to Miss's with Ah Xiang.

"Sister Xiang, why aren't you okay?" Xiao Tao walked to Ah Xiang's side and saw Ah Xiang with a bitter face in front of the bronze mirror.

"I forgot how to comb my hair." Ah Xiang looked at Xiao Tao with a distress look.

Xiao Tao was dumbfounded, but she still helped Ah Xiang comb a double flat bun. Ah Xiang also paid attention to Xiao Tao's technique in the bronze mirror, after all, it was impossible to let Xiao Tao help him all the time. Fortunately, it's simple, and you can learn it once you read it.

Suddenly thinking of something, Ah Xiang turned around and asked Xiao Tao, her tone was nervous, "Xiao Tao, will I help Miss comb her hair later?" ”

Xiao Tao nodded, Ah Xiang was stunned, is this swollen?

"Little Peach, will you help Miss comb her hair?"

Xiao Tao thought for a moment and replied, "Sister Ah Xiang, I used to comb your troubles."

That's really great! Little Peach, you are my savior!

Looking at herself with watery eyes, her eyes full of distress signals, Xiao Tao wanted to laugh for some reason. She has never seen such a Sister A Xiang, and what Sister A Xiang did in the past was serious and down-to-earth. Now, although it is the same, I still occasionally show weakness to her, and from yesterday to now, I feel that I get along more harmoniously than before.

After simply cleaning up, Ah Xiang hurriedly pulled Xiao Tao and ran to Shen Ruomeng's side.

Ah Xiang and the others arrived for a while, and Shen Ruomeng woke up. Waiting for Shen Ruomeng to freshen up, a qiē orderly.

After eating, Shen Ruomeng went to the riverside pavilion.

There are stone tables and benches in the pavilion. At this time, several plates of snacks were placed on the table. The shape is exquisite, and the faint fragrance jumps into Ah Xiang's nose - I really want to eat it!

Although she thought so, Ah Xiang's face was as usual, and she stood quietly aside.

The ancients had very little entertainment, like Shen Ruomeng at this time, just embroidering quietly. Don't look at Shen Ruomeng, who is usually a little pampered, but when embroidering, he is very serious. Ah Xiang has been standing for more than an hour, and she is very bored, so she either looks at the surrounding scenery or looks at Shen Ruomeng's embroidery. Ah Xiang can't understand it, she can only cross-stitch, although most of it is not finished, but she can vaguely see that it is a plum blossom.

Ah Xiang looked down at Shen Ruomeng, today she was wearing a tender green floor-length skirt, I saw her engrossed in the embroidery in her hands, her slender jade fingers shuttled up and down, and there were extra silk threads on the white satin, and this thin thread slowly pieced together a painting. Even if you don't know much about it, you can know that it is superior by looking at this smooth line. Sometimes I see a contradiction in Shen Ruomeng - if in modern times, she is a carefree little princess, looking at her usual clothes, I feel that she is innocent and longing for beautiful love. It is also described in the book that she and the prince are childhood sweethearts, and they have secretly promised since they were children that they hope that one day they will wear a wedding dress and a phoenix crown to marry Xuanyuan Sheng. However, this is a feudal society, even if the family is well-off, everyone is proficient in calligraphy and painting, and embroidery is naturally necessary. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that she is no different from other women, which makes the prince fall in love with Ye Chenqing, who is different. But what about yourself? It's like duckweed, it doesn't matter where it goes. She is very timid, in such a world she does not dare to act rashly, and lives in the same way.

Thinking of this, Ah Xiang secretly shook her head, shook off these thoughts, and sure enough, when she was bored, she began to think blindly.

At this time, a subordinate came, saying that the prince was coming.

"Shhh Brother Sheng is here?!" When Shen Ruomeng heard that Xuanyuan Sheng was coming, she pricked her fingers excitedly, but she didn't care about this, and quickly picked up her skirt and trotted to the front yard after putting the things in her hand on the table indiscriminately.

Ah Xiang had to trot up after him. She has never been to the front yard, there is a small bamboo forest between the back garden and the front yard, although it is a bamboo forest, there are still many flowers planted in all directions, and it is the blooming season at this time. Ah Xiang trotted along the spacious stone road with Shen Ruomeng, but unfortunately she didn't have time to watch it carefully. But I also looked at it like a flower, and I still exclaimed. I have to say that this Shangshu Mansion is a bit like the garden she saw in Suzhou before, of course, there are still some differences. It's really a gray city when you see too many uneven high-rise buildings, and even the green belt is gray, so I guess no one will dislike it.

entered the front hall and saw two people on the upper seat, one is Master Shen, and the other must be the male protagonist, Xuanyuan Sheng.

I saw that the man was well-defined, with a pair of deep and long phoenix eyes, a straight nose, full lips, and a knife-cut chin. Wearing a royal blue brocade robe, he has a lofty spirit. is worthy of being the male protagonist, this appearance is full of aggression!

As soon as Shen Ruomeng saw Xuanyuan Sheng, she happily ran to Xuanyuan Sheng's side, pulled Xuanyuan Sheng's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Brother Sheng, you haven't been looking for Ruomeng for a long time?"

When Master Shen saw his daughter like this, even if he loved his daughter, he had to sink his face and reprimand: "Meng'er, Hugh is messing around!"

Shen Ruomeng looked at Xuanyuan Sheng aggrievedly.

Xuanyuan Sheng looked at Shen Ruomeng dotingly, "Brother Sheng also wants Ruomeng!" ”

Hearing the satisfactory answer, Shen Ruomeng smiled even more happily.

Master Shen was a little embarrassed and apologized, "The little girl is young and ignorant, I hope the prince will forgive me." ”

Xuanyuan Sheng waved his hand, "Taifu, don't see each other like this, Ruomeng and I have grown up together since childhood, and we have long regarded her as my sister!" Hearing that Brother Sheng regarded himself as a younger sister, Shen Ruomeng pursed her lips, her face full of displeasure, but she didn't dare to refute, she was afraid that it would ruin the relationship until now, so she had to work harder to let Brother Sheng know that she liked him.

"It's really a shame for the lower officials, the lower officials are no longer too fu" Master Shen was frightened.

"One day as a teacher and a father for life, Taifu taught me to be a Taifu for life."

Master Shen looked at the prince and touched his beard and was very satisfied. Today's crown prince has been gifted since he was a child, and later he also felt that there was nothing to teach him anymore, and finally resigned from the post of prince like the emperor.

Of course, Murong Sheng was also very satisfied with Shen Shangshu's attitude towards him, and his goal was achieved. Now the situation in the court is tense, although he is the crown prince, it does not mean that he can ascend to the throne. The three princes formed an alliance with many ministers in the court, and previously found out that Jiangnan officials sold illicit salt, and punished many local officials, so he was very satisfied with his father, and he had already threatened his position. If Shen Shangshu joins his side, it will also be of great benefit to him.

Feeling that he was being neglected, Shen Ruomeng pursed his mouth, "Brother Sheng, you don't pay attention to others!" ”

Seeing his daughter like this, Master Shen felt that his face was gloomy, so he had to reprimand. But Shen Ruomeng didn't care about this.

"Brother Sheng, will you go with me to play?"

Xuanyuan Sheng was a little embarrassed, and looked at Master Shen, "I came this time to tell Taifu that I am going to Jiangnan in a few days, and I heard that Taifu was originally from Jiangnan and has not returned to his hometown for many years. I don't know what Taifu wants, I can bring it back with me. ”

Ah Xiang couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard what Xuanyuan Sheng said, no wonder the buildings here are a bit Jiangnan style!

When Master Shen heard this, he couldn't help grinning, "No, no, it's bothering the prince, and he came here for a special trip." ”

And Shen Ruomeng heard that Xuanyuan Sheng was going to Jiangnan, and he was going to go too.

"Dad, I went there once when I was a child, and this time you let me go with Brother Sheng!"

Old Man Shen was extremely angry, but because the prince was not good here, he had to stare dryly.

Xuanyuan Sheng thought of the purpose of going to Jiangnan this time, there should not be much danger, and he couldn't help Shen Ruomeng's begging so he had to agree.

Xuanyuan Sheng left because he still had something to do.

Because Xuanyuan Sheng promised to take him to Jiangnan in a few days, Shen Ruomeng didn't entangle anymore. Because Xuanyuan Sheng's carriage was at the gate of the Shen Mansion, Shen Ruomeng only sent it to the door, otherwise it would not be sent to the eighteen phases.

"Brother Sheng, don't forget what you promised me!" The thing he said naturally meant taking her to Jiangnan.

"Don't worry, Brother Sheng won't regret what he promised you", Xuanyuan Sheng gently rubbed Shen Ruomeng's head, causing Shen Ruomeng to smirk.

Ah Xiang noticed a person standing next to the carriage. With a grim face and a sword at his side, he should be a guard. Others may not know, but Ah Xiang knows a little about this person. His name is Du Sheng, and he is very highly regarded by Xuanyuan Sheng, but what Xuanyuan Sheng doesn't know is that this Du Sheng has different intentions. I remember that Ah Xiang mentioned him in the chapters he read, although he didn't say who he was, but the author described his eyes, as well as some subtle changes in facial expressions, all of which were not simple to show that Du Sheng was not simple. Although Ah Xiang didn't know what he was going to do, he secretly decided to stay away from this person.

After saying goodbye to Shen Ruomeng, Xuanyuan Sheng got into the carriage.

waited until Xuanyuan Sheng's carriage went away, Shen Ruomeng retracted his gaze, and then pulled Ah Xiang to run to his room, she didn't stop even when Master Shen called her, and the angry Master Shen stomped his feet, but these are not things that Ah Xiang can manage.
