Shen Yan thought that she was frightened by the dark night in the mountains and fields, and was about to say comfort, but Shen Mi and Hua Juncheng had already walked out.

The faces of the two of them looked a little heavy, and there was a rare sadness between Hua Juncheng's eyebrows. Shen Yan believed that Shen Mi had just told him about the current situation and the emperor's possible intentions, and she hoped that this conversation would help him make up his mind to move back to Beijing to find a way out, so she left Shen Yi and walked over.

She looked at Shen Mi, and Shen Mi nodded her head slightly, indicating that the matter had been said.

Shen Yan also nodded slightly, and then sighed softly.

Today's twenty-second day is still a few days before my uncle leaves Beijing, I hope he can think it through and make the right choice.

The team to watch the fireworks went home at the end of the hour, and the garrison of the city gate was very good at behaving, knowing that it was the car of the emperor and the merchant Hua, and the team was still ten zhang away from the city gate and had already opened the door and waited. The Hua family was born as a businessman but was on an equal footing with many nobles, and this dignity is not available to everyone, so although everyone knows that Hua Juncheng has not been favored in the past two years, it is only regarded as another kind of love for the emperor's family of meritorious heroes.

On the way back, Shen Mi and Hua Juncheng's carriage was obviously much more depressed than the children's carriage, although there were not too many signs, but the news conveyed from Shen Mi's mouth was not ten percent accurate, and it was eight or nine times out of ten.

Hua Juncheng parted ways with the Shen family's carriage and horses outside the Qilin Square and returned directly to Zishu Hutong, Gu Song and Lu Zhenqian chatted about chess and chatted energetically, and made an appointment to fight again another day. The rest of the people went back to their respective Liao lands, and Shen Yan sent Shen Yi back to the long house first, and then returned to Bishui Courtyard.

Entering the door to undress and wash, Fu Niang said while handing the handkerchief: "Today, the eldest girl fell a little strangely, when the slave came from the fireworks field to look for the girl, I saw that she was obviously talking to Lu Sanye under the shadow of the tree, but somehow she suddenly turned around, and fell into the ditch with the wrong foot. I don't know who scared her. ”

Shen Yan took the handkerchief twisted by rouge: "How do you know that you were scared?" ”

Fu Niang said: "Because at that time, Lu Sanye also drank and asked, asking who was there, but no one made a sound, and Lu Sanye also left later." ”

Shen Yan understood as soon as he heard it, it must have been Shen Yi and Lu Zhenqian who were whispering to people while they were unprepared. I couldn't help frowning. Shen Yi is thirteen years old after the New Year, and it is said that it should be a little measured to contact with a foreign man, but everyone comes out to play together, and it is nothing to say two words when they can see it, didn't she talk to Gu Song just now?

But since she would panic so much that she fell into the ditch, could it be that she said something important, and her heart was empty?

Thinking of this, she said, "I'll ask her tomorrow morning." ”

The next morning, the sky was clear, and after two heavy snowfalls, the sky was as blue as a wash, and there was occasionally snow dripping under the shady eaves, and the winter sun shone through the water droplets on the walls, which was particularly brilliant.

The weather was good and the mood was a little clearer, Shen Yan specially changed into a jade lock small ruffled pinching jacket, and the bottom was a makeup and embroidered skirt covering the feet, she was ten years old after the New Year, and her figure had jumped up in the past half a year, and she already looked good when she wore the skirt.

When he arrived at the long room, Shen Yi was accompanying Ji Shi to deal the right cards, and when he saw her coming, Shen Yi got up.

Shen Yan followed her into the room, and before she could speak, Shen Yi said: "Today is Brother Jun'er's birthday, let's go to Lingzhou Garden to ask for a cup of birthday wine to eat." ”

In addition to eating and living in a courtyard with Shen Xin, Du Jun still lives in Lingzhou Garden on weekdays.

Shen Yan went straight to the door and said, "You don't need to say this, I know." ”

She walks slowly on weekdays for fear of stepping on ants, Shen Yi looked at her like this, and couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Shen Yan didn't speak, walked to the sewing basket where the little oriental puppet was placed, and suddenly turned around with a smile: "The girl in my house asked me that day, what kind of woman is the most expensive." I thought about it for a long time, and I felt that although women with good family backgrounds were pampered, they might not all be respected. Big sister, what kind of woman do you think is the most expensive? ”

She took the puppet out of the sewing basket and held it in her hand with a smile.

Shen Yi's face turned pale, and he walked over a few steps, wanting to reach out and take it back, but he fell softly halfway through.

She propped her hands on the edge of the table, her lips pursed tightly, and a slight sweat appeared on her forehead in such a cold day.

"I—"

"The eldest sister is dignified and noble, elegant and generous, and she is a standard famous lady in the eyes of the world.

"I think you will definitely say that a woman who is clean and self-loving, and who is honest and upright is the most valuable!" Shen Yan put down the hand holding the puppet, looked at her and smiled quietly: "I think so too." A woman who cherishes her feathers, no matter where she is, her heart shines brightly. In my eyes, the big sister is such a precious person. ”

Shen Yi's face was as red as a fireball, obviously she was a few points taller than Shen Yan, but at the moment, she seemed to be half a head lower than her, she didn't have to ask Shen Yan how she knew about this affection between her and Lu Zhenqian, love and righteousness were innocent, and private gifts were guilty. The last thing she should have is to have a private relationship with Lu Zhenqian, isn't this kind of behavior just to discredit her reputation and her relationship with him?

It's just a gadget, although it's not worth making a fuss, but it finally lowers her identity. In addition, what happened last night, if it was really spread by someone with a heart, her life would be ruined!

Shen Yan stood in place, seeing that her face was blue and white, with tears in her eyes, and she was also ashamed, knowing that the fire was enough, so she threw the puppet back into the basket and said, "Sister is not suitable for playing with these things, so let's go somewhere." If you really want it, in another three or two years, what does my sister want or everything? ”

After three or two years, I have become a parent, and I still don't want to send it how I want?

This was said very clearly, and Shen Yi knew that she was comforting herself, so she cheered up and said, "I listen to you." ”

She always knew it was wrong, but occasionally she couldn't help it.

At present, Shen Yan's words are like a blow to the head, waking her up from this mandarin dream that no one thinks she knows, although she is ashamed, but she does not hate her at all, although she is good with Shen Yan, but she is secretly wary of her, but she in front of her makes her embarrassed, if it is Shen Ying today, it must not be like this while beating her while maintaining her dignity face, but waiting to see her jokes?

Thinking of this, her heart warmed, and looking at Shen Yan's gaze, it was a little warmer than before.

On the side of Lingzhou Garden, Du Jun got up early to give Shen Guanyu, as well as Du Ruchen and Shen Simin kowtowed, so he changed into new clothes and shoes, and prepared to go to each room to ask for birthday bonuses for his uncle and aunt.

Shen Simin looked at him who was slender and tall enough to reach Du Ruchen, straightened his clothes for him with a smile, and said: "Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, your uncles will return to the house last morning, and when Jun'er goes to the second room, remember to kowtow a few more times in front of the second uncle." ”

Du Jun was slightly surprised, "Is there anything particular?" ”

Shen Simin bowed his head slightly, and said, "I already went to talk to your grandfather yesterday, and your grandfather acquiesced to me, and he will go to discuss with your second uncle later, and let him be your husband." With your grandfather on the horse, things will be successful, and if you become a disciple of your second uncle in the future, you will have to concentrate on learning from your uncle to figure out the affairs of the court. ”

Du Jun said in surprise: "Grandfather really agreed?" ”

Shen Simin nodded with a smile. "When we go south, you have to remember to get along with the goose girl."

"Why?" Du Jun frowned, "What does this have to do with her?" ”

Shen Simin hesitated and said, "If you want to completely inherit the mantle of your second uncle, you can only do this. If you can become his son-in-law, then your second uncle's skills, including all his connections, will be yours. ”

If there was a son in the second room, of course she would not have such thoughts. But isn't there no son in the second room? Shen Mi will have a son-in-law after all, and instead of cheapening others, it is better to bring his own nephew.

"Son-in-law? She?! ”

Du Jun remembered the grudge with Shen Yan, so he couldn't help but refuse coldly: "How could I marry such a woman?" She doesn't have the slightest bit of gentleness and obedience in her, will she be obedient and virtuous in the future?! ”

Perhaps because he moved around a lot as a child, he was a little precocious than his peers. He didn't like Shen Yan, he liked a gentle and elegant lady like his mother, just like his father. is smart, will pay behind the back, and will not cover up the light of her husband, is capable, takes care of herself inside and outside the home, and is gentle and obedient in front of her husband, and will take his wishes as a will.

"Jun'er!" Shen Simin drank him, and when he saw his indignation, he couldn't help but soften, and sighed: "Even if she is not gentle, for the sake of the future, you should compromise." Don't forget that career and career are the most important thing to you, and it's not too late to talk about them when you're successful. ”

Du Jun pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Shen Simin didn't say anything anymore, so he asked the little guy to lead him to the rooms to kowtow to the elders.

Here Shen Yan and Shen Yi talked in the room for a while, and when they saw the maids, Du Jun came to kowtow to Ji's and went to the second room, so he said to Shen Yi: "Big sister, wash your face, let's almost get ready to go." ”

Shen Yi has always been preoccupied, but when he was suddenly stabbed through this matter, his heart was heavy, and he always felt ashamed of the teachings of his family for so many years.

Shen Yan knew that she couldn't let it go, so she could only sigh secretly.

It's not that she deliberately blocked her, it's just that she can't bear to watch her make mistakes. Although it is uncomfortable now, no one knows, and the enduring is over. If you really get to the point where someone catches the handle, it's too late to regret it! Besides, if Shen Yi really marries into the Lu family, if Mrs. Lu knows that this eldest lady from the Shen family has no idea with her son before marriage, and she doesn't say anything, she will have thoughts in her heart.
