Lian Man'er sensitively noticed Shen Jin's strangeness, so she stopped and did not continue. Shen Jin has something on his mind, and after Shen Liu left, the more time he spent with Shen Jin, the more obvious it became. The specific performance is like this, a sudden daze. However, because although Shen Liu and Shen Qian had hinted, they refused to say it, even Man'er guessed that there must be something difficult to say, so she never inquired about Shen Jin.

In a situation like this, Lian Man'er sat quietly with Shen Jin next to her. Shen Jin will recover, and then as if nothing happened, even Man'er will cooperate with her.

Sure enough, it was the same this time. Shen Jin was stunned for a while, and then came back to his senses.

"Man'er, what you said makes a lot of sense." Unlike the previous times, this time Shen Jin took the initiative to bring up the topic just now.

"I'm just talking about it casually." Seeing Shen Jin like this, Lian Man'er hurriedly smiled.

Shen Jin waved his hand and didn't let Lian Man'er continue.

"Always living in the house, I don't think yet. This time I came to Nianyuan, met you, as well as your little sisters, and knew how you usually live, which made me understand a lot of truths that I didn't understand before. Shen Jin's gaze was distant, and his tone was serious with a hint of sorrow. The troubles of effective people, big families like us, also have our dissatisfaction. ”

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and this is true everywhere.

Lian Man'er hummed softly and listened carefully. Regarding Shen Jin's troubles, Shen Jin didn't say anything, she wouldn't investigate, and now Shen Jin is willing to talk about it, and she is also willing to be a good listener.

"Don't talk about others, just talk about us." Shen Jin continued, "Your cousin named Ye'er has a bad family background, so she has to work hard for the family's food and clothing. Your family is now a big family in Jinyang, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, but you also have to help with housework. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Jin's gaze fell on Lian Man'er and smiled.

"I know, you are the head of your family. In your family, you can be more than half of your family. ”

"Fifth sister, don't make fun of me." Even Man'er smiled and said, "It's my father and mother who indulge me, and my brothers and sisters also let me." ”

"You're too modest. I may not have known it before, but I have heard it all these days when I came to Nianyuan. Man'er, your ability, I admire it very much. Shen Jin said again.

"Fifth sister, you said that I Ye'er and I, haven't you said yourself?" Lian Man'er said.

"I seem to be more comfortable than you are." Shen Jin chuckled, "Food and clothing are naturally worry-free, not boasting, as long as it is something in this world, I want it, open my mouth, and my family can help me find it." Housework, there are others to worry about, and I don't need to bother a little about it. Such a day, speaking of which, must be envied by many people. If I have anything, I will be laughed at and contented......"

The girl of the Zhumen embroidery household, before she got married, did not live such a life.

"Like the sixth brother, the ninth brother, and other brothers, they still have to work hard and plan for this family, I don't even need these, it seems that I just need to enjoy it. However, it is not necessarily ......"

When Shen Jin said this, he paused. She looked out the window at the lotus flowers in full bloom.

Even Man'er sat quietly and didn't make a sound. In fact, when Shen Jin said this, she had already roughly guessed what Shen Jin's troubles were. Girls from big families, what else can be unsatisfactory, that is, marriage.

However, in this era, which girl can completely control her own marriage, it is not all the orders of her parents and the words of the matchmaker. Like the average Zhuang family, they also pay attention to a family with relatives, or a good family, and it is good to be a family member of children and have two surnames. And those big families, of course, pay more attention to marriage.

For example, the Shen family, Shen Jin naturally wants to marry under the planning of the Shen family, even the children of Shen Liu and Shen Qian cannot make decisions about their own marriages, and most of their marriages will also be political and interest marriages.

This is simply an ordinary thing, Shen Jin grew up in the Shen family, and he should have been used to it for a long time. Now I am making such a feeling, but it is just because I have been pampered and everything is going well.

These days, looking at Shen Jin's food, clothing, and manners, Lian Man'er found that even in the Shen family, there should not be many girls who can be loved and pampered like Shen Jin.

"I've enjoyed it for more than ten years, and now, it's time to give back to my family." Shen Jin said softly, but his gaze did not withdraw from the window.

"Man'er, I'm just telling you. In my house, they are going to send me into the palace. Shen Jin turned his head, looked at Lian Man'er, and said in a softer voice.

"Oh?" Lian Man'er was slightly taken aback, it turned out that it was not an ordinary marriage, but to enter the palace. That...... Sure enough...... Distinct.

However, even Man'er was only slightly taken aback, and returned to normal. The Shen family has produced several queens, and after the death of Empress Shen, the chances of the Shen family having another favorite concubine or queen are quite high.

What about the emperor, he also has to marry, for the consolidation of his throne and the balance of power of all parties. The Shen family is not a royal family, but guarding the northern frontier is equivalent to the status of a vassal king, and the emperor wants to tolerate the Shen family, win over the Shen family, and at the same time contain the Shen family, so it is natural to marry the favored daughter of the Shen family into the palace.

Shen Jin is only afraid that she is the girl who has been selected by the Shen family a long time ago to enter the palace, Lian Man'er glanced at Shen Jin and thought to herself. Thinking about it this way, Shen Jin's shoes have a reasonable explanation for the general treatment.

Regarding Shen Jin's entry into the palace, Lian Man'er really didn't praise it.

"Has this matter been decided?" Lian Man'er just asked.

Shen Jin didn't speak, just nodded.

It seems that Shen Jin is reluctant to enter the palace, so she will have troubles, so the Shen family arranged for her to come to the garden to relax.

"Fifth sister, if you enter the palace, ...... that one" Lian Man'er asked softly.

“…… At the beginning, I'm afraid it won't be the back ......," Shen Jin also said in a soft voice.

That is to say, the back ten are calm, but it takes some time, or the right time. Lian Man'er breathed a sigh of relief for no apparent reason.

"Man'er, why did you react like this?" Shen Jin looked at Lian Man'er strangely.

“…… It's better to be a queen than a side concubine. The emperor's family, isn't that also divided into descendants, main rooms, and sizes?" Lian Man'er said.

Can Shen Jin resist the Shen family's decision to let her enter the palace, the answer is no. Since you have to enter the palace, it is much better to be a queen and a big wife than to be a side concubine and a little wife. There is no other choice, so just looking at the face of the emperor alone, and letting others see her face, is it better than not only looking at the emperor's face, but also being in a side position, looking at the face of a woman who is more respectable than her.

"I thought you could persuade me, but I didn't expect you to say that." Shen Jin was amused by Lian Man'er's words.

"You're right, it's still thanks to my family. Other people want this, but they can't do that. After a pause, Shen Jin said again.

"Fifth sister, I don't read much, and I don't know how to talk about the big truth. However, we older generation people have a saying, which is called nine out of ten things. It's hard to do anything perfect in this world. When encountering problems, you must look at the benefits and leniency, otherwise, you will add to your own troubles. Lian Man'er said to Shen Jin.

This is the real persuasion of Shen Jin.

"You're right." Shen Jin nodded.

When Lian Man'er left Hexuan, Shen Jin seemed to have completely thought about entering the palace. She didn't specifically tell people not to tell anyone about this matter, this is because she trusts Lian Man'er and knows that Lian Man'er is reliable and can distinguish the importance clearly.

Coming out of Nianyuan and sitting in the car, Lian Man'er was still thinking about Shen Jin. The last time I heard Shen Liu say that this October was the emperor's fortieth birthday. Shen Jin's unhappiness should be partly because of this.

The carriage went down the mountain, passing outside the wall of the temple of Empress Shen, Lian Man'er accidentally lifted the curtain and saw the golden and brilliant roof of the main hall. She suddenly thought of something, and her heart couldn't help beating half a beat faster.

The Shen family has produced several queens, but it seems that no one Queen Shen has ever left an heir, and even a princess does not seem to have ......

Shen Jin, who is only fifteen years old, should also be Shen Jin, who is full of good expectations for the future......

……

Because of Shen Jin's matter, even Man'er was not very comfortable, and for two consecutive days, the food was reduced. Zhang asked her, and she naturally couldn't tell the reason, only said that it was a bitter summer. Zhang naturally believed it, and would cook every meal himself, and deliberately cooked some light and refreshing meals for Lian Man'er to eat.

However, Lian Man'er's "bitter summer" didn't last long, because Gorou returned.

Before coming back, Gorou had already sent a letter back in advance, saying the approximate date of arriving home, and the family had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and to their surprise, Gorou had arrived home one day earlier than the expected date.

When the family saw Goro, it was needless to say that they were happy, and the Zhang family even took Goro's hand, crying and laughing.

In the past few months since Gorou left home, his stature seems to have grown taller again, his face has become a little darker, he looks more serious, and his speech and demeanor are more comfortable and lofty. With a mentor like Mr. Lu traveling with him, Gorou obviously benefited a lot.

Mr. Lu also came back with Gorou and stayed in his hometown for a few days, but he decided to return here to wait for the appointment, and at the same time to continue to teach Goro and Xiaoqi's homework.

When Gorou left, several carriages were full of things, and when he came back this time, the carriages were still full.

Zhang's, Lian Zhi'er, and Lian Man'er packed up the things that Wulang brought back, and at the same time, they sent people up the mountain to call Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi came soon, and he also brought Shen Qian with him. Xiao Qi saw Wulang, needless to say, this joy is needless to say, Shen Qian saw Wulang and Mr. Lu were also very affectionate.

"Brother, you brought those white ducks outside?" Kochi asked Goro.

"Yes." Gorou smiled and nodded, this time when he came back, he brought back a lot of souvenirs bought along the way, including a living thing. (To be continued)
