Lu Minglan sat down on his knees, poured tea for him, and said: "Although you have been worried, you have never dispelled this idea, it is a blessing for the Great Zhou to have a hero like King Chen, and it is also a blessing to have an emperor like you." The common people do not like to kill, they do not like to fight, and of course they will welcome a monarch who dares to face his mistakes. ”

"It's a pity that I can rehabilitate the Chen Palace, but I can't bring back the lives of the Lu family, the ministers of the East Palace, and our three sons." Zhao Jun took her hand, and his expression became gloomy again, "Every time I think of this, I feel that it is too cheap for the Emperor Taishang to quit him, but he is my father, and there is filial piety ethics in front, but I can't do more to him." ”

Lu Minglan looked at the back of his hand and said faintly: "I am already content, I was really in pain when I knew that they were dead, but now that I think about it, since I have followed you, then the Lu family always needs to take some risks." And what I've gotten over the years has actually exceeded my expectations for more than 20 years. I have the emperor, and I am already content in this life. ”

Zhao Jun's eyes turned red, he grabbed her, put his chin on the top of her head, and said: "I'm trying these days, there are few people on the street, I'll arrange it, you go and meet Meiniang and them." Bring me some of the books I picked up for Loel. He's six years old, and it's time for enlightenment. ”

Lu Minglan paused and raised her head, "It's the festival in a few days, why don't I ask Fu Shu to inform Meiniang, let her take Luo'er to Xiangguo Temple, and you can meet you too?" ”

There was a fluctuation in Zhao Jun's eyes, and he hesitated: "But it is not appropriate for him to show up at this time." Han Ji: Before their purpose is clear, we have to ensure Luo'er's safety. ”

"I'll see you quietly. It's okay to be irrelevant people. Lu Minglan almost pleaded.

Zhao Jun took her, nodded and said, "Okay, you go and arrange it." ”

Hua Juncheng was not at home, and set off to Huizhou last night to run errands.

Shen Yan had lunch at Hua's house, and then went to the room with Hua Zhengwei to talk to herself.

Hua Zhengwei said: "I heard that the queen asked you to help choose people to enter the palace?" ”

"You know again." Shen Yan smiled at her and took a sip of tea.

Hua Zhengwei said: "There is a ready-made candidate by your side, why didn't you think of it?" ”

"Who?" Shen Yan's brows moved.

"Xuanniang." Hua Zhengwei said, "The Zeng family is also a scholarly family, a prominent family in Lingnan, and their background is good. But because there is no one at home anymore. In the end, it is difficult to pick a good person to go. If she marries an ordinary family, she will inevitably be trampled on again. It is rare for the queen to be generous, and she is not good at fighting, and she enters the palace to get along with the queen. Good for you. Good for the Shen family. Isn't it good for your third aunt and good for herself? ”

"How can Xuan Niang be a concubine?" Shen Yan objected when he heard it, "And it's still in the inner courtyard of the deep palace." I can't go out all year round, don't encourage me to mention this, if it reaches the ears of my third aunt, my third aunt will say it to my mother again, and if my mother doesn't scold me to death, I have to nag me off a layer of skin! ”

Shen Yan glared at her warningly.

She never thought that Xuanniang needed to be worried about marrying, is there only happiness in this world by marrying a high-ranking official? In a small household, as long as the husband is motivated and the in-laws are benevolent, they will live comfortably. What's more, the emperor and queen are very affectionate, even if it is good to be the imperial concubine, but after all, the man is someone else's man, she can feel good when she sees the emperor and the queen as close as one person?

If she had to do it, it wasn't something she had to do.

Of course, it would be better if she could marry better and have a higher status. In the end, because of the living environment, the living habits and concepts formed are also different, if you really go to a poor household, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of friction.

Hua Zhengwei was glared at by her, so she had to sit back, but she continued: "If you refuse to send her to the palace, then why don't you find a way out for her?" She is also fifteen years old this year, and she will have to start talking about her relatives next year, but now that she has such an identity, she is the niece of the third grandmother in the old mansion, not to mention that your third uncle has not entered the office, if she marries, it will have nothing to do with the Shen family. ”

When Shen Yan heard this, she could be regarded as hearing her true meaning.

Xuanniang is the same year as her, isn't she fifteen? As soon as Hua Zhengwei said this, she became serious again, no wonder the last time when the Shen family talked about this exam, Zeng also mentioned that someone from the Zeng family would come to take the exam, and there was a hint in her expression at that time, was she worried about Xuanniang's future?

She said, "If you don't mention it, I really don't think about it." What, this is what my third aunt told you? ”

Xuan Niang will definitely not say this, she is at peace with what she encounters, she has lived in the Chen family for a while, she has no opinions, and when she comes to the Shen family, she is also very adaptable. Her worries about the future are probably less than one-tenth of Zeng's.

"Nope. It's just that I was at your house that day and saw her actually playing chess with Gu Song's kid. Hua Zhengwei smiled and stretched out her hands to compare: "Two people sit under the hibiscus tree, one is handsome and the other is delicate, they are so compatible." The bee landed on Xuanniang's head, and Gu Song also broke a branch to help her run away, do you think this scene is beautiful? ”

"Gu Song?" Shen Yan was dumbfounded, "How could they play chess together?" ”

They are all of marriage age, how can they still have the opportunity to sit together?

"It's not that I don't know each other, the neighbors, the two families often come and go, and I don't look up and see each other. Besides, it was my uncle who was playing chess with Gu Song in Japan, and then there was something temporary, so she played the top game when she was passing by. ”

Shen Yan nodded in understanding.

Although Hua Zhengwei's words are just her personal opinion, but think about it, Xuan Niang and Gu Song Duoden are right, and Gu Song's character is so good, Rong Guogong and his wife and Gu Zhicheng are very upright people, although the Qi family is a little cautious, but people are not bad, if Xuan Niang can marry Gu Song, it will be the best for her. It's just that it's true that this identity is a problem, and also, what does Gu Song think about it?

She looked at Hua Zhengwei again: "You didn't tell anyone about this, did you?" ”

"How is that possible?" Hua Zhengwei glanced at her: "What am I doing if I have nothing to do to ruin people's reputation?" ”

Shen Yan nodded: "I still have to think about it." He looked out again and said, "It's not early, our lord is about to go home, I'll go back first, when will you remember to bring me a letter uncle, I'm looking for him a little bit of a trivial matter." ”

"Isn't it just to rush back and fry some cabbage! Why are you in such a hurry to go back? ”

Hua Zhengwei smiled at her and joked, causing Shen Yan to pat her on the shoulder.

This trip was a gift, but Hua Juncheng didn't see it.

Shen Yan returned to the mansion, and it happened that Han Ji also came back, and she was worried about what Hua Zhengwei said, so she turned to his study. Lying on his desk, he asked him, "Have you been playing with Gu Song recently?" ”

When Han Ji heard him mention, he raised his eyebrows and raised his gaze from the book, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Shen Yan said: "I don't know if you have heard him mention what kind of girl he likes in the past so many years?" ”

Han Ji's face was a little stiff, and his gaze at her was also a little unkind, "What do you want to do?" ”

"It's okay, just ask." She pretended to be casual. After all, she is hearsay, and Hua Zhengwei has not received confirmation from Xuan Niang, how can she talk about this kind of thing casually. "You just need to tell me, has Gu Song told you what kind of girl he likes, and if he has any plans to discuss marriage recently."

Han Ji put the book down and glanced her up and down: "You want to tell him a matchmaker?" ”

"Can't you?"

"Nope." Han Ji replied categorically.

Shen Yan lowered his face suddenly: "Why?" ”

"No why." He looked at the book in a sullen voice.

What Gu Song likes is her type, and she ran to be a matchmaker for him? Just kidding, what if you turn around and kidnap her again?

Just didn't kidnap away, with her dangling in front of her, can Gu Song still look down on others? I didn't have to delay people.

"You think you're not allowed to do it?" Shen Yan sneered, twisted around and walked out.

Han Ji stared at her back for a while before putting the book down.

On the day of the festival, the weather was also appropriate, and the sun shone on the window edge early, with a slight chill, so that the breath of the mouth also had a golden glow.

The festival lasts for three days, and on the first day, the emperor and queen, civil and military officials, and women are all present. On the second and third days, only the Zen masters led 500 monks to open the altar to give lectures, and the common people who were willing to chant the scriptures could also participate, but they had to accept the unified dispatch and command of the officials present to enforce discipline.

Shen Yan changed into a moon-white silk shirt and skirt, and only a few plain jewelry such as Dongzhu and diamonds were inserted on her head, and the color of the ornament was as light as possible. Although this is a Dharma, although it does not require excessive dress, this Dharma sacrifice is for the dead, and Chen Wang's mansion is full of Han Ji's family, so she naturally has to treat it respectfully.

Chen Chu and Han Ji went out, Wei Guogong and Han Yun also solemnly went to the second gate, Shen Yan saluted, and then got on the sedan chair first, and then the masters got on their horses and went to Xiangguo Temple with their entourage.

After arriving at the temple, Shen Yan first glanced a few times at the Xungui pile under the cover of the figure, and then called Xin Yi with a boo when he was about to part ways.

"You do me a little favor." She smiled.

Xin Yi smiled and clasped his hands, "Do you want me to help my grandmother ask Gu Song to see what kind of girl he likes?" ”

Shen Yan's smile suddenly froze: "How do you know?" ”

Xin Yi smiled and said nothing. Every time Han Ji was sulking at her, he would inevitably look for him to pour bitter water when he turned around, and he complained a lot behind his back the night before, how could he not know?

Shen Yan saw him smiling like this, and she guessed it, but she didn't want to dwell on this, it was important to get down to business. She said, "Now that you know everything, I won't talk nonsense." You can talk to him and give me his thoughts. When you take a break in the middle of the stay, you let Rouge bring it to me. ”

Xin Yi looked back at where Gu Song was and said, "I'll do my best." ”

Shen Yan nodded: "I believe in you." ”

After that, he went to the Zen temple. (To be continued......)
