Of course, this private teaching and receiving can't just blame one of them, Shen Yan remembered Lu Zhenqian, who married Shen Ying in his previous life, and felt a little strange in his heart. It is said that if Lu Zhenqian is really the kind of man who is worthy of trust, did he ever think about her reputation when he sent things to Shen Yi? And if he really has such a deep affection for her, how could he be calculated by Shen Ying in his previous life?

Thinking of this, Shen Yan was a little dissatisfied with Lu Zhenqian's behavior.

Of course, it is still inconvenient for her to say these words to Shen Yi, otherwise she will be suspected of being a bad person.

After Shen Yi cleaned up for a while, Shen Yan went to Lingzhou Garden with her. It just so happened that Shen Rui and Shen Kui had also arrived, and they were lying at the table eating the Huizhou snacks brought back by Shen Simin, and the two were arguing about whether the sesame cake was better or the cake was better, and finally added the jade belt cake and rose cake to the scope of discussion.

Du Jun stood under the curtain, receiving Shen Yan's birthday salute, because of Shen Simin's previous words, he couldn't help but look at her.

I saw that she was slightly long and had plump skin, because of her slender skeleton and lined with shaved shoulders, she not only looked not fat, but a little thin.

Fahrenheit looks to take care of her very carefully, at the age of ten, her face is still as delicate and pink as a baby, her big apricot eyes should be inherited from Shen Mi, her curved moth eyebrows and dense eyelashes should be from Fahrenheit, Xiao Qiong's nose is slightly playful, her small mouth is thin and ruddy, and she has a chin with a perfect arc.

Shen Yan noticed that he was staring at him, and he was stabbed uncomfortably by his hot gaze, so he raised his face slightly and looked straight back.

Du Jun didn't expect her to be so bold, and her face turned red and her eyes suddenly drooped.

It's good to look good, but it's not a good habit to keep it at all.

Du Jun looked at it like this, even though he was still dissatisfied in his heart, but this face made him feel a little more comfortable. If you are not polite, you are not polite, I heard that she has been in Jinling for several years, and she has followed a superficial businessman like the Hua family, and he can understand that she has become like this. He eased his expression, pointed to the round table on the left with a lot of food, and said, "Sister Yan and Sister Yi are sitting here." ”

Shen Yan and Shen Yi sat down at the table, and Shen Simin came out to entertain with a smile.

Shen Yan still had some awkwardness in her heart, this Du Jun hadn't seen her before, what was she doing when she suddenly looked at her like this? Could it be that she has flowers on her face? She touched her face with her hand, and then remembered the change in his face at that moment, then remembered his tone that suddenly softened later, and remembered the kindness of the cold Shen Simin today, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became.

The tea was not so pleasant, and after sitting down for a while, she said that she would go back to help Hua sort out the New Year's gift list and go back to the second room.

Shen Mi was meeting guests in Mojuxuan, while Fahrenheit had two officials and wives from the Ministry of Etiquette visiting and also receiving guests.

Shen Yan walked back to Bishui Courtyard and called Fu Niang Rouge: "Do we have anyone in Lingzhou Garden?" ”

Rouge thought for a moment, "There is a little girl who is sweeping in the outer courtyard, called Hongyi. And he said, "Girl, do you have something to ask?" ”

Shen Yan hummed, "You go and call her over, I'll ask her a few words." ”

Rouge went out and soon called someone over, a little girl with a single eyelid.

Shen Yan asked, "Is there nothing wrong with Lingzhou Courtyard in the past two days?" Did you hear that there was something wrong with Young Master Cousin? ”

Hongyi thought about it carefully and said, "If you go back to the girl, my aunt and grandmother are so quiet, and there has been nothing to do in the past few days." Young Master Cousin also spent a lot of time with Young Master Xin, and he didn't see anything wrong. ”

Shen Yan estimated that this was the case, and after being silent, he grabbed the copper coin and gave it to her: "Keep an eye on it for me again, and if there is any movement, come back and forth to me." If I'm not there, I'll go back to rouge and let them do the same. ”

The red clothes thanked him and went out.

Shen Yan thought about the previous scene in Lingzhou Courtyard, and really couldn't think of any reason, so he put it aside for the time being, and listened to the news of the red clothes.

Shen Mi sent the guest back in the evening, and Shen Yan greeted him and said, "Father should have confessed to his uncle last night, right?" Did my uncle agree to move? ”

In the past few days, under the double brainwashing of Hua and her, Shen Mi has gradually moved closer to them, and feels that it is inevitable for the Hua family to move back to Jingshi. "He has his concerns, and it's impossible to make a decision in the moment, so let's think about it," he said. ”

Shen Yan had no choice but to nod.

But she was a little worried about her uncle, he was such a good person, and the unspeakable hidden thing he said must be related to more important things, and she forced him to decide to move early, I don't know if it will make him feel uneasy?

She really wanted to know what he was worried about.

And she felt that the matter he was worried about should have something to do with his grandfather's decision to move south.

So, why did the Hua family move back then?

There is a pond with a pair of turtles the size of copper basins in the old house of the Hua family in Zishu Hutong, called Huanyu Pond. When Shen Yan was a child, before going to Jinling, she often came over because Fahrenheit had to take care of the house from time to time, but she was not yet three years old at that time, and her impression of the ancestral house was very weak, but because the turtle was too strong, she often watched here, and later heard adults mention it in Jinling, so she still had an impression.

The old house is actually not very old, the ancestral home of the Hua family is Hangzhou, close to the Huizhou area, the ancestors of the five generations of the Hua family are working hard, and finally the wealth of the grandfather of Hua's grandfather is out of control, and he has become a very fatal rich businessman in Suzhou and Hangzhou. About 30 years ago, the situation in the former dynasty began to be turbulent, and there were frequent uprisings in various places, and the Hua family's business was also hit hard.

Later, Hua's grandfather, Yi Gu, supported King Chen, who revolted in a place called Taizhou south of Jinling, so that he recruited troops and became a rebel army on the dominant side. But a few years later, Fahrenheit's grandfather was killed in the war. Then Hua's father, Shen Yan's maternal grandfather, took over the flagpole and continued to perform righteous deeds.

After King Chen and Zhou Gaozu joined the alliance, his maternal grandfather spent almost all his belongings to accompany him to the southern and northern wars. Later, Zhou Gaozu Zhao Jie, founded the Zhou Dynasty, and then rewarded the Hua family. It is said that he also wanted to give the Hua family the title of official and knight, but his grandfather said at the time that "when the moon is full, it will be lost, and when the water is full, it will overflow", and politely rejected the first emperor, and said that the Hua family was a businessman and did not want to occupy the court without learning and skill.

The first emperor gave a lot of confiscated treasures to the Hua family, and complied with his wishes to let him serve as the silk weaving procurement office of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and then rewarded this mansion and a pair of thousand-year-old spirit turtles in the jade liquid pool of the Hou* Palace to show his favor.

There were also two heroes who were given the spirit turtle back then, so it was not eye-catching.

When Shen Yan was sitting under the white marble fence next to the Huanyu Pond and watching the turtle, Hua Juncheng came over with a big belly.

"Give."

He sat down next to her and handed her a piping hot roasted sweet potato. Hehe said: "I knew you were greedy, so I went to the door to buy it." ”

Shen Yan saw that he still had one in his hand, so he turned it upside down twice in his hand, wrapped it in a handkerchief and peeled it off.

Hua Juncheng peeled the potato skin and said with emotion: "I still remember when you first went to Jinling, you always cried at night when you changed places, and then your mother was not good at coaxing on the left, and it was not good for coaxing on the right, and then Sister Wei saw the little girl in the house squatting under the porch to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so she gave half of it to you to eat, and you stopped crying." ”

"yes."

Shen Yan held the hot sweet potato and looked ahead, as if he had also returned to those years, "Later, we often pestered my uncle to buy sweet potatoes on the street to eat, because my mother was not allowed, saying that if I ate too much, I would have stomach trouble, and I would fart, and it was indecent for girls to eat this." But I didn't care, I couldn't get used to eating new chefs, so I thought sweet potatoes were the most delicious, and at that time, my father only listened to my mother, so I pestered my uncle to buy them. ”

"But your aunt won't let me buy it, saying that girls are getting used to becoming less and less girly." A faint smile appeared on Hua Juncheng's face, warm like the winter sun in the afternoon, "Their aunt and sister-in-law are partners, I took you and Sister Qing and Sister Wei are a gang, and at first let them catch them twice, but then the technology became more and more proficient, and they never got their hands on it again." ”

"It's all uncles!" Shen Yan was also in good spirits when he said this, and his voice was loud, "That's why I worship my uncle the most!" ”

"Hmm." Hua Juncheng became proud, "Uncle also thinks that Yan Yan's temper is the most like uncle." People say that nephews are more like uncles, which seems to be very accurate. ”

Shen Yan smiled happily, biting the hot and soft potato flesh in a big bite, and the whole person was bathed in the sun, warm and comfortable.

It was because she was not used to eating Jinling's dishes in those years that her uncle took them to the street to look for food everywhere, that she developed a habit of eating snacks. It is precisely because of her uncle's doting that she is obviously a beautiful girl, so she doesn't look like a beautiful girl.

How can she not have such a like-minded uncle in her life, how can she not have such an uncle who will get used to her lawlessness.

The fish in the jade pond seemed to feel the warmth, swimming around the surface of the water one after another, sliding out a slippery light.

She told him interesting stories about her time in Jinling. The bright and dark troubles that surround the body do not exist at this moment, and this one is the time to remember and enjoy memories.

She didn't urge him to move, nor did she rush to talk about how to deal with the emperor's ill intentions and unload the mill and kill the donkey, the current uncle has too many things to bear psychologically, and what he needs is warm companionship, not the result of blind persecution. He is a businessman who is good at business, not a general with a heavy army, and can eat and drink without caring when a crisis comes.

These two roasted sweet potatoes are cheap, but they can warm the heart.

Shen Yan accompanied Hua Juncheng to dinner in Washington before returning to Shen's mansion.

Hua Jun became a send-off, and also drank two glasses with Shen Mi in Mo Juxuan before saying goodbye. But these two glasses of wine were obviously drunk a little slowly, because before Shen Yan fell asleep, he saw that Mo Juxuan's side was lit up, and his uncle's bodyguard was standing under the corridor, and Shen Yan was already asleep when he left, and he didn't know when he left the mansion.
