143rd birthday
Fu Niang drooped her shoulders and said, "What the girl doesn't know, the slave doesn't know." ”
"That's just as well." Shen Yan looked at her.
Fu Niang blushed: "The girl will bully people." ”
It's funny here, but Huang Ying outside the door said that Song Jiang was looking for it.
When Shen Yan arrived in the front yard, Song Jiang said respectfully to her: "Our son invited Miss Yan to come over for tea, and asked Miss Yan to be sure to appreciate her face." ”
If you must appreciate the face, then of course there is no reason not to go.
When he arrived at Gu's house, Gu Song had already been waiting in the Xinuan Pavilion of Hongyin Hall.
Seeing her coming from the window, he hurriedly suppressed the surging in his heart, calmly stepped out of the threshold, and said lightly with his hands: "Why did you come?" ”
"Is this called slow?"
Shen Yan untied his cloak and said: "The snow is melting in the past two days, there is water everywhere, and if I am not careful, I will slip in the mud if I am not careful, so it would be good for me to come over along the way." "She didn't want to mention to him the last time she ran into Du Jun when she went out, it was really unlucky." Thank God for your beauty! ”
Dare to rush her.
Gu Song glared at her lightly, why was she so fierce every time.
Shen Yan handed the cloak to Fu Niang, Fu Niang put her clogs at the door, Gu Song was silent, took the cloak over, and hung it on the hanger.
Shen Yan looked around the room: "Didn't you invite me to tea?" How nothing. ”
Gu Song glanced at Song Jiang, Song Jiang jumped up and said "Order", and immediately popped out.
In less than a moment, three or four small servants came in with a few large food boxes. Placed on the table and turned out, and moved in a number of plates, and in an instant the small round table in the hall was covered with colorful and all kinds of delicious food!
Shen Yan looked at it with wide eyes. It looks delicious.
"Why is it so weight-dropping!"
She was suddenly a little flattered. "Can't you finish eating?"
Gu Song glared at her angrily. I haven't seen her say a pleasant word. Obviously, he specially prepared it for her birthday, Song Jiang and they all knew, why did they become endless leftovers when they arrived at her? He couldn't give her anything, so he bought these and invited her to eat, what a guy who didn't know what to do.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became.
I don't want to pay attention to her anymore!
He turned around and stared at the clock on the desk.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of cups and plates behind me, and turned around. I saw that she had begun to bury her head in eating happily since she didn't know when, and the awkward heart in her chest was suddenly ironed by the admiration she spit out from time to time. It is as if the spring breeze blows through the willows on the embankment in February, and it is like a drizzle in March.
My grandfather once said that sometimes the human mind is the most lethal sword, and in his experience, he has not fully appreciated the true meaning of this sentence. But now, he felt that the knife had turned into a hand, and it did not threaten him, but it was gently playing with his feelings.
He returned to the table and sat down, pushing the food from his side over.
"Is it delicious?" He asked softly, slightly unnaturally.
"Uh-huh." Shen Yan tasted the food unhurriedly, and nodded seriously to answer his question. It wasn't until I swallowed the Bisi pearl cake in the bowl and drank tea and rinsed my mouth that I took the handkerchief and printed my lips and said, "But I only ate Shou Mian in the morning, and now I can't eat it." She paused at this point. You buy so many things, can't it be for my birthday? ”
She looked at him quizzically.
I finally saw it, but why is this gaze so annoying?
Gu Song was rude. With the roots behind the two red ears, he said loudly: "How is it possible? How do I know when your birthday is? ”
"No, it's not." Shen Yan rubbed his ears, what did he do so loudly. "Thank you for your hospitality, but I still have to go to my uncle's house in Zishu Hutong, so I have to go first."
Gu Song stood up, "It's such a cold day." What are you going to do there? ”
"I have something very important to do." Shen Yan said solemnly.
"What's the matter?" He also looked at her solemnly. Today is her birthday, and he finally pushed Mr. Xie's teaching. Coming to prepare this meal, how could she just eat so many bites and leave? Besides, she can find him if she has something, so what about the most important things? He grimaced and said, "If you have anything, I'll help you do it." ”
Shen Yan shrugged: "This is really not good." ”
Gu Song was not calm: "Why not?" I've even done something like fake silver tickets for you! "He's done all this for her, what else can't she let him do?! The little prince of his dignified Rongguo Mansion actually did such a thing as counterfeiting silver tickets, what else did he do? He thought he wouldn't be too surprised if she offered to let him take her to the kiln.
Shen Yan sighed.
Where did she refuse to let him help, it was useless for Rong Guogong to come forward in person, if Hua Juncheng didn't tell the secret, who could pry open his mouth? Moreover, she has to inquire about why the Hua family is now pushing back the exchanges with the nobles, which should also be a more important matter.
Of course, although he can't help, he is already his own person, and it's okay to tell him: "It's to solve my uncle's refusal to move." She said briefly.
Gu Song was silent, still strained: "Why do you have to let your uncle move?" ”
Shen Yan groaned, and then told the rhetoric that persuaded Hua Juncheng before. "Without my uncle and uncle, my mother was always weak. And more importantly, now the emperor seems to have a lot of complaints about my uncle, they have arrived in Beijing, but they have moved around the court a lot, and they have closer contacts with various prefectures, which is more helpful to the situation of the Hua family. I'm worried about them. ”
Naturally, she spoke to him about her worries. Because she really needs someone who can talk to her about these topics, it is inevitable that there will be negligence in acting alone, let alone this kind of big thing that she cannot achieve alone.
Shen Mi is of course suitable, but if you go to him, although he doesn't mind letting her know about the situation now, it is very difficult to talk to her. Born in a family, he finally has some unique views of women in his bones, and she can say it appropriately, but it can't be said excessively.
But Gu Song would never care about this, so he was the most suitable one to listen to her now.
Gu Song didn't expect her to be so worried, and she couldn't help but become solemn when she heard the words.
He has also heard about the Hua family, and the successors in the Xungui Mansion have to be trained to contact the government and military when they are young, and how the Hua family helped King Chen and Zhou Gaozu to fight the world has also been heard repeatedly. He also secretly sighed at the Hua family's righteous deeds. Such a person should have been reused or rewarded by the state, but in the first two generations of monarchs who have destroyed so many heroes, the rebuke of the Hua family is nothing.
"Maybe it won't get to that point." He said, "The founding heroes of the year have been destroyed a lot, if the emperor is obsessed with it again, the remaining courtiers will no longer sit still." The emperor should be jealous, and he should not dare to attack these heroes anymore. Hasn't it been quite peaceful in the last five or six years? ”
"No!" Shen Yan straightened up. "Wolves will never change their meat-loving nature, and in the same way, a person who has been suspicious for a long time will not trust others at any time. What's more, the two generations of monarchs of the Zhou family are suspicious, and the current saint has no merit in building the country, but he fabricated charges to eradicate dissidents, and it was only five or six years, who knows if it was not his plan to delay the army?
"For example, when you heroes and nobles relax their vigilance, relax and then reveal the empty door, like your family, if it is not good to control the subordinates, then the emperor will take this opportunity to ask for guilt, who knows? As the old saying goes, the cunning rabbit is exhausted, and the good bow is hidden, which may not be unreasonable. ”
When Gu Song heard this, his heart couldn't help but surge.
He had never thought about it so deeply, he did that the emperor should have stopped for the sake of stability after killing so many heroes, but if, as Shen Yan said, after each family relaxed their vigilance, they showed their pigtails for people to grab, then who could say anything about the emperor? Or, it is not impossible for the palace to take advantage of the situation and secretly fabricate some charges on these people......
He will take on the responsibility of carrying forward the family in the future, if these may happen to his hands, what face will he have to meet his ancestors?
Shen Yan saw that he looked stunned, and knew that he had listened to the words, but he thought that he didn't have two lifetimes of experience, and he might not be able to withstand such a heavy prediction all at once. Then he softened his tone and said, "Of course, I'm just speculating, not necessarily like this." The emperor's grace is vast, and the emperor has been very good to the nobles over the years, but he is just careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years. ”
When Gu Song heard her say this, he was a little ashamed of his gaffe. Even if the Gu family really has one day, he will not lose the entire family, otherwise what has his grandfather and father cultivated him all these years?
With his mind settled, he also regained his ability to think normally, and he pondered for a moment and said, "According to what you just said, I have one thing in mind. He looked at her, and stopped talking.
Shen Yan said: "If you have something to say, how can you look like a gentleman?" ”
Gu Song glared at her, and when she was about to have a seizure, she suddenly remembered her birthday today, so she couldn't help but say, "I know about your family's affairs, and there are no outsiders in this house, so I won't beat around the bush." Based on the information I have before, if my guess is correct, it should be your grandmother who instructed Liu to kill your mother.
"Since you know that the emperor seems to be dissatisfied with the Hua family, I don't know if you have thought about the impact of this incident on your mother?"
"My mother?"
Shen Yan was stunned.
Gu Song sat down silently, and then said, "You are in the game, so you may not be able to see it very really." When Uncle Ji taught me how to play chess, he often reminded me to jump out of the chessboard from time to time to see the overall situation. You just mentioned the matter of the Hua family, and I remembered that it is extremely unlikely that Mrs. Shen killed your mother because of trivial household matters, and it is speculated that there should be other reasons.
