104 Communication

"I'll ask you later." Chen Houji should come down

Zhan Zhuo became more and more excited, and pointed again. I didn't know that the two of them were muttering here for a long time, and several sharp eyes swept over there. The two of them froze for a moment, and hurriedly left, and in order to cover, they also found a place to relieve themselves.

When the two of them turned back, Master Shen Si welcomed Mrs. Shen Si back.

There was the maid who came to invite people for the first time. Behind her, there was a little maid holding several gift boxes.

“…… These are just gadgets, for the two little masters to make fun. Another day, Mrs. led the young lady and the young master to the house, and it was the official meeting. "After the princess didn't see the old man for a while, she didn't forget to say hello. The approximate meaning is that this gift is not counted now, and when we officially meet in the future, there will still be better greeting gifts.

Mrs. Shen Si said "um".

Master Shen Si said: "Niangniang is too polite. ”

The maid smiled, and saw that the couple did not mean to bring the two children out to thank them, and did not say anything more, put down the gift, and took leave. 、

The Princess's carriage slowly began to set off.

Chen and Shen's two families sent it respectfully, and stayed in place for a long time before they started moving again. At this time, the frame of Prince Ying's mansion was already invisible.

It seems to be deliberately much late.

Shen Rouning smiled and looked at the delicate pastry in the twisted box, sniffed it carefully, as if enjoying the fragrance of the pastry, and then put it into her mouth.

Sure enough, it is very delicious, and it is fragrant on the lips and teeth.

After Shen Rouning ate a piece, she pushed the box to Chen Houji on the other side, and smiled and signaled that he could do whatever he wanted.

Chen Houji looked at the box, and then at Shen Rouning. A depressed and tangled face.

"Plum blossom cake." Shen Rouning gently introduced: "The taste is very different from what we usually eat, and I think there is a special recipe...... Cousin can taste it. ”

"Oh......" Chen Houji is really not interested in pastries at this time.

Although this pastry is fragrant, it looks delicious.

"Imperial dim sum, not you can eat it at any time......" Shen Rouning was very regretful and comforted: "Cousin really doesn't taste it?" ”

Chen Houji twisted one indifferently and threw it into his mouth, swallowed it in two bites, and said casually: "It seems to be different from ordinary plum blossom cakes......" After he finished speaking, he put this sentence behind his mind, as if he had made a decision. He glared at Shen Rouning with puffed eyes and said, "Sister Ning." Can you explain this to my cousin? Don't do that, okay? ”

He's dying!

Shen Rouning reminded him to visit the princess for no reason...... And then, there was no then!

And then she sat in the carriage so peacefully. On the contrary, it was himself who was suspicious of everything and saw that nothing was right! But he couldn't tell what was wrong!

This unprecedented sense of madness. He's going crazy with a lot of torture!

Therefore, Chen Houji finally couldn't help it. After restarting, he jumped into Shen Rouning's carriage. I saw that Shen Rouning was still delicately asking him to eat any pastries...... He couldn't bear it any longer, and finally asked.

With a little plea that he didn't even notice.

Shen Rouning fiddled with the snack box, and her long and beautiful eyelashes drooped slightly. After a little hesitation, he opened his mouth lightly: "Cousin Ji, didn't I tell you?" This is an imperial sweet. And it's not an ordinary imperial confectionery. ”

for that palace. It is all considered to be the imperial system, and it is used for food and clothing. In every way, there are many. And the top eunuchs have so many imperial ornaments that are rewarded from above, showing their own honor. Ornaments and utensils cannot be moved.

And the imperial pastry...... He who is rewarded is to be eaten. Otherwise, will it be left to be bad?

The Chen family, as a top civil servant, can still taste the imperial pastries. What's more, it's Prince Ying's mansion. Therefore, the pastries that Princess Ying rewarded were more precious, which did not make Chen Houji want more.

"It's a pastry for the only one." Shen Rou condensed.

"What do you mean?" Chen Houji's eyes widened, and he still didn't understand very well.

Shen Rouning sighed and said, "I suspect that it was not Princess Ying who was sitting in the carriage just now, but someone else. "She really shouldn't be beating around the bush with Chen, really.

Chen Houji was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Isn't it Princess Ying?" How can it be? Who can afford the princess's car! He wasn't stupid at all, but he finally thought of it at this point, and said incredulously: "Who are you...... Will it be someone from the palace? ”

He swallowed, nervous with caution.

Shen Rou nodded calmly, thought for a while, and said, "Cousin Ji, did my grandfather tell you about my mother's past?" ”

When Chen Houji heard this, his face immediately changed.

Shen Rouning received his expression and nodded.

When Mr. Chen taught his juniors, he was particularly attentive. The method is also a bit unbelievable. Take the incident of Mrs. Shen Si back then, he refused to tell Chen Houji's grandchildren before, firstly, they were not strictly speaking, they were not minors, and secondly, Mrs. Shen Si herself was not in the capital, and those old things were dusty, so there was no need to say too much to increase their worries.

And now, Mrs. Shen Si has returned to the capital, and naturally she has been noticed again...... Then, the old things that were sealed in the dust back then are no longer just old things, but once they are involved, they will have a very serious impact. In addition, his trust in Chen Houji's own character, he became friendly with the lord of Mingjia...... Under the trade-off, Old Man Chen will tell Chen Houji the truth, at least part of the truth, so that he will know in his heart and will not be deceived when he encounters relevant things.

Although Chen Houji is hot-blooded and chivalrous, he is not overly impulsive. It's not that brainless, and he can't even keep some family secrets.

For example, he knew that Shen Rouning had asked him about Mrs. Shen's past, but he didn't know if he couldn't help him before, but now that he knew, didn't he tell Shen Rouning easily?

Chen Houji was a little stunned by her, and hurriedly explained: "That's the case, Sister Ning, my grandfather warned me and said...... Alas, anyway, neither Houwen nor Houqi knew about it, and my grandfather asked me to watch them a little. ”

The original Old Man Chen's explanation did not include Shen Rouning...... But in Chen Houji's opinion, Shen Rouning, a ten-year-old girl, is it bad to know too many secrets? The two younger brothers are young and immature enough to watch a little, and the cousin and cousin are even younger, of course he also needs to watch a little...... (To be continued)
