"Your Majesty?" Shen Rouning repeated softly.

"Yes." Mrs. Shen's eyes were no longer on Shen Rouning, but at the clear blue and clean sky outside the window: "He is a sensible and ambitious person. ”

Xu remembered the past, and Mrs. Shen Si was slightly distracted.

Shen Rouning didn't urge her, and waited quietly.

After a long time, Mrs. Shen Si said softly again: "The battle between the north and the south, I am afraid that it will take several years. In the meantime, he will not dispose of a respected old minister because of the woman in the inner palace. In the future, Daqing will be unified, and he will be the first emperor of the ages, and he will not allow his reputation to be flawed because of a woman. ”

"He's always been sensible."

Mrs. Shen Si said these words lightly, and for the first time, she seriously cleared up Shen Rou's confusion.

Shen Rouning shook her head slightly: "Mother, people will change." ”

A sane person has been rational for a long time, but once he is crazy, he will be even more wanton and terrifying.

A person can control himself in his prime, but when he is old, the higher his achievements, the more arrogant and self-righteous he will be, do whatever he wants, and no one will be allowed to disobey. Then, the discomfort and unhappiness that were once buried by reason in his heart will also be exposed and become the magic obstacles that he has to get rid of!

Mrs. Shen Si was stunned, and there was a flash of sarcasm and self-deprecation on her lips, which quickly faded away and said, "You are thinking too far." ”

She glanced at Shen Rouning lightly and said, "There's no need." After that, she returned to her usual coldness, obviously unwilling to talk to Shen Rouning anymore.

Seeing this, Shen Rouning had no choice but to retreat.

Thinking too far? Is it really not necessary?

Shen Rouning pondered these two sentences repeatedly in her heart. I felt bored, so I asked people to set up a car, went to the beach, faced the sea, and sat quietly for an afternoon.

There's really no need, right......

However, there is always a little bit of preparation.

Shen Rouning returned to the mansion, wrote and drew on the paper, and thought for a long time before lighting the piece of paper that had been full of Juanxiu's small characters and throwing it into the copper basin. Soon. The paper was reduced to ashes.

"Father. My daughter wants to go shopping in Ningbo Mansion and visit Cousin Ji by the way, I don't know if it's okay? The next day, Shen Rouning was before Shen Si went to the office. Intercepted him.

Fourth Master Shen thought for a moment. and he should come down. Said: "Yes, you can, but you have to arrange the guards before leaving." There's no rush on this matter. I'll arrange it when I get back. "Before leaving Beijing, Old Man Chen explained to him that he wanted to take advantage of Shen Rouning's young age to let her go out to see more, so that she didn't have to learn any messy rules, and she had to be kept in the deep boudoir gate without going out of the second door. As long as the guards are properly guarded, no one will deceive her.

Fourth Master Shen didn't want to trap his daughter.

One of the most important reasons why he chose to go out is not to let his wife and children look around?

Ningbo Mansion is not a remote place, and he is not too worried.

"Well, my father bothered." Shen Rouning smiled happily and sent Shen Si away.

The next day, the autumn was crisp and the weather was fine, Shen Rouning changed into men's clothes, led the red tassel to Chaoyan, and Shen Zhou personally led the four guards to follow, and hired a boat to go to Ningbo Mansion.

There was nothing to say all the way, and the group arrived quickly.

Shen Zhou commanded everyone to find a clean inn and chartered a small courtyard.

After a simple meal, Shen Rouning called out to Hongying and instructed her: "Hongying, you go out to inquire where Ji Tong Ji Xiaogongzi is, and I want to hand him a letter and ask him to come over to see me, or he can make an appointment with him." ”

"Yes, girl." The red tassel should come down, turn around and go out.

She invited Shen Zhou to send a letter to Chen Houji.

Hongying came back first, and said, "Ji Xiaogongzi said, let the girl go to the thrush hall in Miaoyin Garden tomorrow afternoon, order a few scenes and wait for a while, he will be there soon." The slave maid inquired, the Miaoyin Garden is a Miaoyin class opened a drama garden, very famous in Ningbo Mansion, there are several famous actors, the inside is very formal, the girls and ladies here will occasionally come to the scene to cheer. ”

Not those messy places.

It is said that there are many entrances and exits, and it is more complicated and private than ordinary teahouses and other places. Ji Tong is about to be in this place, and it is still very reliable.

"What did this Miaoyin Garden come from?" Shen Rouning asked with interest.

"It's only been a few years." The red tassel man looked ordinary and inconspicuous, but when he inquired about the news, he was very careful: "Ji Xiaogongzi has held several corners in the Miaoyin class and is a frequent visitor there. He is bold and does not hesitate to spend a lot of money to smash people, so he is quite popular. ”

"That's right." Shen Rouning thought about it slightly, then said to Hongying with a smile: "It's hard work, you did a good job." ”

Red Tassels.

However, in the evening of the same day, Chen Houji heard the news and rushed back to the city from the barracks, accompanied by no one except Qin Xu.

"Reconciled?" Shen Rouning asked with a smile as she beckoned the two of them to sit down.

Both of them are dressed in black suits.

Chen Houji is darker than before, and his originally white face is slightly rougher, but it is becoming more and more heroic; And Qin Xu has not changed much, as if he has not participated in daily training at all, he is still fair and handsome, like a beautiful girl's family.

Hearing Shen Rouning ask, Chen Houjijun's face showed a little anger, and he said coldly: "He has to come with a dead face, what can I do." ”

At that time, seeing that Qin Xu was really here, Chen Houji was touched in his heart, in fact, he had forgiven him a long time ago, but he refused to admit it, and still threw a black face at Qin Xu. As for Qin Xu, as soon as he came, he became an official from his top, and the military orders in the army were like mountains, Qin Xu always had a way to turn the regiments under his command into a ......!

This time, Chen Houji heard that Shen Rouning had come to Ningbo Mansion, so he had to go to Qin Xu to ask for leave...... This person was as thick-skinned as the walls of Jianning City, and he followed some of them.

"I miss Cousin Ning too." Qin Xu showed a bright smile at Shen Rouning, and then looked at her with some grievances, and said, "Cousin Ning, you are too uninteresting. We are all in other places, I always thought that I was friends with Cousin Ning, but I didn't expect Cousin Ning to come to Ningbo Mansion and refused to call me...... It's really sad. ”

"Get out!"

Now that he is not in the barracks, Chen Houji doesn't have to endure Qin Xu anymore. When he saw Qin Xu's smile, listening to what he said, why didn't it sound right, he couldn't help it immediately, and he was about to make a move with Qin Xu, glaring at him and saying, "Ah Ning is only ten years old!" ”

"I know." Qin Xu is naturally authentic.

Such a casual tone stung Chen Houji. (To be continued......)
