296 friends

She told the grandmother beside her: "Remember to remind the girl to go to Yongqing Palace tomorrow." ”

Shen Yan didn't take this matter to heart, so Hua didn't know anything about it. There was nothing to say all night in Yongqing Palace.

The next morning, both the east and west sides received news of the next day's horse race on campus.

Everyone is waiting and watching for the time being, even Xue Zhu and them.

Xue stopped: "I don't know what the prize is?" If it's something mundane, I'm too lazy to race. ”

Dong Gu Song was in a similar mood. Last night, Gu Song finally failed to find Shen Yan to speak, which made Gu Song a little listless. He had mustered up the courage to meet her, but God always refused to give him a chance. In the past few days, she has been surrounded by people around her, and he, as her most familiar partner, has become a stranger, which is difficult not to make people feel melancholy.

remembered that when she first returned to Beijing, her friends were only him and Lu Silan, but she would discuss with him everything she did, but now she has met so many people, and the seats around her are getting more and more crowded, as if she can live well and happily without him, it is false to say that she is not lost, and she has repeatedly failed to find a chance to speak, and there is a feeling that she will never go back for some time.

The matter was left unfinished, and he was not interested in anything.

Shen Yan was still staying in Chonghua Palace, Concubine Shu opened the cards, and Hua's they were all there.

Liu Manru arrived at Yongqing Palace early in the morning, brought two cloud brocades and four-color cakes, and made a special trip to apologize to Shen Yan for last night's incident.

It was only then that Fahrenheit knew that the two of them still had such a play, and seeing that Liu Manru was humble and polite, he couldn't help but entertain him with good tea and good words. But the thing only symbolically received a few pastries.

Although Mrs. Liu's status is much higher than herself, Hua's understanding of her daughter is very measured, and she didn't say anything when she came back last night. But I can also guess that it must be the place where Liu Man offended Shen Yan, and since Liu Man came to apologize, it is not an exaggeration for her to accept her apology for her daughter.

Shen Yan didn't have much opinion on Hua's approach, but he was no longer as casual as Liu Manru was before.

Because of the emperor's attitude towards Shen Yan last night, Concubine Shu naturally praised Shen Yan again in the morning, although Liu Manru did not fall today, but there was a storm on the mountain last night. No matter how enthusiastic she is about Liu Manru, she can't dispel this barrier.

Shen Yan didn't ignore her chilling gaze in the past. But it doesn't matter, she has faced too many such eyes in her two lives, and she can't stop it. Then I'll have to wait and see.

It can't be that as soon as people in the world look at her unpleasantly, she has to be cautious and live on thin ice. Since Liu Yaze can sit in the position of the elder of the cabinet, he must not be such a person who has no energy, and he is pressing. Liu Manru always has scruples.

Shen Yan has an instinctive wariness of this kind of daughter who is gentle on the surface and talented on the inside, and she doesn't know if it is the shadow left by Mrs. Shen's mother and daughter. So even if she is with Shen Yi, Su Rili has a lot of attention, and it is naturally impossible to have any conflict with her in this kind of place. Everyone still has to be faced.

Coming out of the Concubine Palace, Shen Yan went to wander around.

The little girl of the Xue family followed Han Yun around her all day long. After lunch, they went to the mountain stream to catch fish for a while, and then they went back to the palace to see the list of horses to be registered for tomorrow's horse race under the wall.

There are not many people who have signed up. can be added at any time, Shen Yan is looking to see if there are familiar names. Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came behind her.

"Wild goose."

She turned her head and looked at the young man in front of her with a wink: "Gu Song? ”

Gu Song led the horse, and many people behind him were dismounting one after another, and the guards were carrying heavy prey on their horses, and the people who went to hunt were all back at this moment. And Xue Zhudong slowly drove his horse to stand under the acacia tree where Han Ji stood yesterday in the distance, and was looking at this side with his head probed.

Gu Song nodded, and said as naturally as possible: "Why are you here?" He saw her here just when he arrived, and he didn't want to miss it, so he drove straight here.

"I see who's going to go to the horse race."

Shen Yan pointed to the official document on the wall behind him, and then turned around to look at him, he hadn't seen him much for two months, but he saw that he had lost a lot of weight, probably because he was tired in the camp. But this shed his baby fat and made his facial contour look more like a half-sized child. And his eyes are also a little calmer, no longer as before people always flash pretend to be mature.

In fact, we haven't seen each other for two months, and although the two sides have tacitly agreed, there is no obstacle to talking again. She could naturally see the tension in his eyes, and it was natural for her to make fun of him.

Gu Song was a little embarrassed to look at him, although he didn't feel anything like this before. He looked down at her toes, caught a glimpse of her mud-stained boots, and finally found the words, "Where have you gone to play?" These are bare mountains on all sides, and there is nothing to see. If you go to the woods, you are afraid of wild beasts. You don't walk around. ”

Shen Yan smiled: "Don't worry! I went with Brother Yun, and he had guards by his side. ”

She didn't feel the need to be unnatural, no matter when she saw Gu Song, she felt very comfortable.

His current restraint is just that he can't let go of it.

But he finally dared to talk to her, which could be seen as his progress.

She took the tip of the grass in her hand, walked over and smiled, "Are you going to go horse racing tomorrow?" If you go, tell me in advance, and I'll take you. Oh, by the way, when I was at the barbecue yesterday, I suddenly remembered how good the sauce your cook made when I roasted chicken in your house. ”

Gu Song's eyes shone brightly: "Do you remember?" ”

When the chicken was roasted at this time last year, the head of the village in the Zhuangzi sent them a few half-sized pheasants, which were originally intended for her to play, but she felt that it was more meaningful to roast and eat, so she roasted and ate them on the terrace of the Gu family's water pavilion. I don't remember the taste of the barbecue, but how happy it was at that time, and the atmosphere was as harmonious as fish and water, sky and clouds, green trees and grass.

Thinking of this, his heart gradually returned to peace.

And involuntarily flying: "Oh, when the time comes, let's bring some prey back and roast it!" ”

"You really want to go with me!" Shen Yan high-fived. Juvenile friendship is always warm, how fortunate she is to be reborn and meet good friends like Gu Song and Lu Silan. In fact, although it is said that he is mixed up in the official palace, how happy he is to have one or two loyal and sincere friends in his life.

Gu Song looked at her and smiled, and unconsciously raised his lips.

He likes her to talk to him like this, as if nothing unpleasant has ever happened between them, they are still friends, just like Han Ji said, real friends will not be estranged because of a little misunderstanding, and regain the freedom to be with her, which makes him very down-to-earth.

You're welcome, don't be distant, that's enough.

Isn't what he wants from her to be this freedom and trust?

He didn't dare to think about what kind of feelings she had for him, in front of such a frank her, he only felt that it was a blasphemy to entangle his affection for her, so good, the sky was still blue, the trees were still green, the water was still clear, there was no change, everything was still the same, how precious it was.

He didn't want her to blame him for his mistakes, and he didn't want her to be close to him because of the care he had for her.

He made up his mind, only to feel that the dark clouds that had been hanging over his head for several months suddenly dissipated, and now he thought about the accident of the Pure Water Temple, which was not a bad thing, at least he saw that the friendship with her was not so fragile, and he already knew how to put himself in the right position to get along with her, and he would be much more free and easy with her and himself.

He squinted into the distance, exhaled in relief, and then turned back to her and smiled: "I don't think I will go to the paddock tomorrow or tomorrow, I heard that you went to release paper kites yesterday." If the weather is fine, maybe I can accompany you, I know that there is a place that is very flat and suitable for paper kites. ”

"Okay!" Shen Yan cheered: "It's fun when there are more people, and then we will call Han Ji and Xue Jing and them too." ”

"Okay." He smiled in response.

He hesitated and pointed to the palace gate: "Then I'll go in first, I'm sweating, it's very uncomfortable." ”

"Go ahead! It stinks to death. ”

Shen Yan knew that he had a habit of cleanliness, so he wrinkled his nose and waved his hand, and said with a smile.

Gu Song briskly grabbed his sword and entered the door.

Judging from the back, he is still as handsome as before, and he really won't change much in two months. What Gu Song left in her heart was still his innocence and kindness.

She was indeed happy at the moment of his arrival, and she had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, and she didn't want their friendship to fade like this until it was gone. She also believes that Gu Song is not the kind of person who can never face reality, it is not his fault, it is just because he is too himself.

She was also in a good mood.

"What are you looking at?"

Han Ji suddenly said lazily behind her. He's been watching her here for a long time.

Shen Yan turned his head, tilted his head proudly, and said, "Gu Song spoke to me just now. ”

It seems to be remarkable.

Han Ji paused slightly, oh. Gu Song and her childhood sweetheart, although the two have been estranged recently, the relationship between the two families is there, and sooner or later they will be reconciled. He turned around, threw the horsewhip to Luo Shen, and then went to untie the fox on the horse's back, and said casually, "What did he say?" It's been more than two months, and his awkwardness has passed, right? ”

Tao Xing asked them to help, but he reached out and pushed away.

Shen Yan walked around to the horse, looked at him and said, "I didn't say anything, I just chatted a few words." He said that he would take us to fly a kite in two days, and said that when the time comes, we will bring a few more prey back and we will roast and eat them ourselves, and the two of us are also barbecued at their house, and their cooks will make a lot of sauces, and you will be full of praise when you eat them.
