Towards the end of the year, the house began to be in full swing again to clean up the yard and prepare for the new year.

Reading a book under the window on this day, Rouge suddenly took out something wrapped in silk from the cage, and said while uncovering it: "This is still the wild chrysanthemum that the girl picked back in the back mountain when she was in the palace, and it has long been dried, and I forgot to take it to General Han - oh no, it's the prince, what should I do?" Did you keep it or throw it away? ”

After the new year, the spring weather will turn damp, and I am afraid that it will be moldy if I keep it, so it is time to deal with it.

Seeing this big bag of yellow-dried chrysanthemums, Shen Yan also remembered that there was still this stubble, which was a worthless thing, and he waved his hand and wanted to throw it away, but after a pause, he suddenly took it and wrapped it again, "Keep it first." "His liver fire has been very strong, since it is for him to dry, let it be kept, if he doesn't want it, throw it away.

There were two heavy snowfalls in the month of Layue, and it was in the second half of the year.

It was the time when foreign officials reported on their work, and the Jingshi began to be lively everywhere.

Shen Guanyu, as the imperial history of the capital, inevitably bears many assessment responsibilities with the officials. Shen Mi and Shen Xuan were also busy, and all the affairs of the New Year were handed over to the three concubines of the Ji family.

There are no outsiders this year, and it has been peaceful in the past year, so the house seems to be much more relaxed, to the fifteenth year later, it is needless to say, the Zhuangzi everywhere is also in an endless stream of Zhuangzi to pay the account, Hua is very busy, to the morning of the twenty-first day, Shen Yan's birthday, can be regarded as seeing her, kowtow to her for a birthday gift, and then go to the second door to welcome Mrs. Hua and Hua Zhengqing sisters and Hua Zhengyu.

Hua Juncheng went to other places these days, and Mrs. Hua brought her children over to celebrate Shen Yan's birthday.

Shen Yan got a lot of gifts, needless to say about the Hua family's gold and jade, Shen Yi embroidered a pair of shoes for her by hand, and it fit very well after trying it. Shen Yan has never received such a gift between sisters, and it is false to say that it is not heartwarming. Shen Ming, Shen Xin, and a few of them all sent thoughtful sentencies to them because she came back from the palace, so they all bought two pots of plum blossoms for her to set the table this year.

After Chen slapped Shen Xin, Shen Xin and Shen Ming, who were originally very close, suddenly became estranged, and the two did not go in and out together in the past six months, and this time it was Shen Yi who took the lead for Shen Ming. However, Shen Xin still gave face, and asked the maid to pay for it without saying anything.

Shen Yancha can't see their lives, although they are both members of the Shen family, she has the responsibility to help resolve these things, but she believes in the word fate, there is a contradiction here, and it is not a misunderstanding, it is better to go with the flow. Sometimes too much effort is made by others, and it backfires.

At noon, the banquet was held in the second room, and after the meal, Mrs. Hua and the others were going back. Shen Yan originally wanted to stay with Hua Zhengqing's sisters for a few days, but Mrs. Ming'erhua's mother's brother would also come to Beijing to report on his work, and at the same time, his wife and daughter would also go to Beijing to live by the way, so it was inconvenient to stay longer.

When she left, Shen Yan saw a trace of worry on Mrs. Hua's face, which was rare.

I remembered that when they had a banquet in the flower hall before, Mrs. Hua and Hua had eaten alone in the room, and when they were sent out, they turned back to the Hua family and asked, "Is something wrong with the Hua family?" Why does my aunt seem unhappy? ”

Fahrenheit also had a rare depth on her face, but she tried to make herself appear calm: "It's nothing. Let's go play, I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Mother!" Shen Yan can't save it, her biggest worry now is that she is from the Hua family, Mrs. Hua has something on her mind, she has to ask in the name of gossip.

Hua couldn't resist her, glanced at her, and then said, "Sister Qing'er's marriage is yellow." ”

"What?"

Shen Yan didn't react for a while.

In the previous life, the Hua family had been living in Jinling, so the marriage of the Hua family sister Xu was also set in the south. Of course, because of the family change, the marriage has collapsed, and now I can't remember who Xu is.

In this life, they moved to Beijing, and of course they had to be close to the choice of a son-in-law, and because of the Hua family's hidden worries, Hua Zhengqing's marriage also focused on people who might help the Hua family, and she knew this, but she didn't know that Hua Zhengqing's marriage was already eyebrow-raising, and it stands to reason that there would be news in advance of this kind of thing.

Hua took a few sips of the decoction that was hanging aside, and then frowned and said, "Look, you have a birthday, I didn't want to talk about it, you have to ask." ”

After speaking, he paused, and continued: "Actually, it hasn't been decided yet, the other party is the son of Pan Youzheng, the left waiter of the ministry, the Pan family and the Hua family are also old friends, and their family style is also positive.

"Aren't you saying this Pan family is nonsense? You should get married with eight characters before changing Geng posts, right? Why did you come back to this one after changing the Geng post? Although it has not reached the step of marriage, there are such twists and turns in the girl's family, and it is inevitable that others will not guess. The Hua family is not a small family, isn't his Pan family too bullying? ”

Hua Shi said with some indignation, her niece was looked down upon, and she was naturally uncomfortable.

Shen Yan also frowned, Pan Youzheng is this person, she has an impression, in his previous life, he was later released to Yunnan as the governor, and he is generally transferred by Beijing officials to foreign posts, and his next career will not be too bad. And the Pan family is indeed as Hua said, there is no bad rumors, the Hua family chose the Pan family to propose marriage this time, it can be seen that they are really paving the way for the future in private.

But since the Pan family is upright, why did they do such a thing this time?

She recalled Hua Zhengqing's smile and smiled freely before, and asked Hua's words, "Does Sister Qing know about this?" ”

Hua said: "Your aunt also received the news yesterday, because she was coming to celebrate your birthday today, so she didn't tell her, so as not to make you unhappy." But sooner or later, this matter can't be hidden, and Sister Qing has such a strong temperament, I'm afraid she won't have a good time. ”

Shen Yan suddenly realized that Mrs. Hua was going to take Sister Qing and them back, not because Mrs. Hua's maiden family was coming, but for this matter!

Hua sighed and said, "Your aunt doubts that it could be that the Pan family knows that the emperor wants to deal with the Hua family, so he suddenly changed his mind." If that's the case, then you really can't blame the Pan family for anything. But the point is, who will get this news out? Pan Youzheng was able to climb to such a high position, he should not be the kind of hearsay, if the source was not very reliable, he would not believe it lightly.

Therefore, if he really ruined his marriage because of this incident, then it shows that this news is heard from a very important person. If you think about it again, since there are other people who know this news, does it mean that the emperor has clearly expressed his intention to deal with the Hua family? If so, doesn't it mean that the end of the Hua family is really not far away? ”

Hua's worries were all on his face, and even Shen Yan couldn't help but lift his heart when he saw it.

What she said is not unreasonable, the Hua family is loud and powerful, although it is not a formal official, there are countless officials who can deal with him, and the Hua family also has the emperor's grace, and even the house is given by the emperor, and few people can have this grace. There is nothing to criticize about the Hua family's family style, and the Hua sisters are very decent and generous.

It can be said that with the dignity of the Hua family now, compared to the Pan family, the Pan family still insists on withdrawing from the marriage, except for a strong reason, it is impossible for them to do so.

And apart from the reason that the emperor wants to deal with the Hua family, what reason is more powerful than this?

Shen Yan's birthday is finally not good.

If Fahrenheit and Mrs. Hua's speculation is true, isn't the situation passive?

However, nothing has happened in the imperial court in the past few months, the emperor is very normal in the palace, and this time the affairs in the northwest have disappeared into silence, and he is in the middle of the cabinet and the nobles, how could he suddenly think of dealing with the Hua family? The Hua family is not at fault, even if he wants to deal with it, he has to lay the groundwork for a long time in advance, and he can only act if he catches a good reason?

What's more, how could he confide in such a big thing? Even the queen only figured it out from between the lines, if it weren't for her personal experience in her previous life, otherwise she wouldn't believe that the emperor would attack the Hua family, so how could Pan Youzheng know this news? As the emperor, if he knew that the news had leaked, he probably wouldn't let go of this person who confided in the news, right?

With this doubt, Shen Yan's heart began to sway again.

The intuition formed by years of experience in house fighting told her that the strangeness here probably did not rise to the level of a major event in the imperial court, but now she has no clues, and she can't see anything unusual.

Seeing that Hua was taking medicine, she knew that it was the prescription that Xin Yi prescribed last time, so in order to make her feel relieved, she comforted her in turn and said: "Sister Qing and Pan Gongzi have just had a relationship, and they are not officially engaged, and there is nothing." Besides, the girl's family is not at fault, and his Pan family broke the contract for no reason, but they have no face, and they can afford to lose this face. Sister Qing doesn't worry about getting married! ”

Fahrenheit sighed, "That's it." I'm just telling you, how can you really be angry with this kind of person? And said: "It's your birthday today, don't pay attention to these things, and have fun with you." Sister Qing is thin-skinned, don't go to Hua's house for a while, and then you can go after she has passed this period, so as to save her from feeling more uncomfortable. ”

Shen Yan nodded: "I know." ”

In the Chinese military camp, Han Ji and Wang Ju were patrolling in the playground in military uniforms.

Han Ji said: "I have something to do next, so I won't be here, you guys will take a good look at it yourself." ”

Wang Ju clenched his fists: "The prince can rest assured." ”

After speaking, seeing that there was no one around, he patted him on the arm again and quipped: "I'm wearing a new dress today, aren't you going to meet a beautiful woman?" ”

Han Ji lifted his sword and laughed, "Where do I have any beautiful women?" ”

"That's hard to say." Wang Yu squeezed his eyes and said: "Don't you know that now all over the capital have praised you Han Shizi as a flower, saying that you are rich, handsome, and heroic, and you are the first noble son in the capital. People are not amorous teenagers, they just go to meet beautiful women, and there is nothing to be ashamed of! ”R1152
