Shen Qianran was worried that Ci'er would have a long journey, so she said goodbye to her mother and returned to her own yard. Ning Changan was worried that Shen Qianran would have more gifts, and he was afraid that she and Shui Yu would not be able to take care of them, so he asked Shui Yue to follow Shen Qianran from then on.

Along the way, three or four pavilions were built, and a lot of exotic flowers and plants were planted in the garden, and there were constantly busy women back and forth.

Wei entered her own yard and found that it was similar to when she left three years ago, especially her bedroom, except for the new curtains, the other dressing tables, the scissors that she had put aside when she left were also in place. On the side of the bookcase, the book I read before leaving was still on that page and rested in the center of the desk, but there was a bottle of freshly picked peach blossoms on the side.

Shen Qianran's delicate white fingers gently caressed the spotless desk, and his heart ached slightly.

"This is the master's explanation, she said that the second miss will go home sooner or later, there is someone here to clean every day, and the quilt is also changed once every three days, just like when the young lady is there." Shui Yue pushed open the door, and the two walked to the backyard, and Shen Qianran saw at a glance that there were still flowers in all seasons.

After the second lady left, the old lady wanted to send Langyue to wait for Zhong Yanan, but the lady was worried that Longyue would suffer, so she quietly gave Longyue a sum of money and let her family redeem it. Last year, the slave maid met her on the street once, and I heard her say that she was married and had a good life, but she was always thinking about the second miss in her heart! ”

Ning Tianci poked out half of his head from his mother's arms and showed off softly, "Ci'er remembers Aunt Longyue, Aunt Yu said that she loves to cry the most, and she is not as brave as Ci'er!" ”

Shen Qianran patted his son's little buttocks and boasted, "Ah...... Our family's little gift is the most amazing and the most obedient. Now, my mother bathed Ci'er, and after washing, she went to sleep obediently, and when she woke up, she let Aunt Yue tell the story, okay? ”

The little guy immediately plunged into his mother's armpit, and read in a coquettish voice, "Ci'er is asleep, Ci'er is asleep......" After reading a few words, he raised his head, tilted his little head and reported with a smile, "Mother, mother, Ci'er wake up!" ”

Shui Yue couldn't help but want to stretch out her hand to pinch the little guy's face again, seeing the little guy reflexively protecting his face with his little hand, Liuli's eyes flashed with a little vigilance, endured it, and said with a smile, "Miss, the slave maid is going to prepare hot water." ”

Shui Yu said, "I also have to go and clean up, I just found a cart of things, I have asked them to move over, and I don't know if anything has been left behind." I'll check it out! ”

Shen Qianran first helped Ning Tianci take a bath, Xiao Tianci was tired for a few days, and he could still have fun in the bath, but after drying his body, he began to shake his head and want to sleep as soon as he touched his mother's arms, Shen Qianran ironed his son and lay on the bed together, until he felt that Ci'er's breathing became heavy, Fang got up quietly, kissed the little guy's forehead gently, gently put down the Wei tent, and walked out of the bedroom.

Shui Yue was coming up with a plate of fried kidneys, and when she saw Shen Qianran, she said, "Mama Fang Cai sent someone to say that the emperor is holding a banquet in the palace today, and the lord and son will not be able to return to the house until midnight." Worried that the second lady would be tired all the way, I told the young lady to rest first, and it was not too late to talk about it tomorrow! ”

Shen Qianran sighed lightly, "All these years, my father still lives in the palace?" ”

"Every fifteenth day of the first month, I go back to the house, usually either in the palace, or I am sent by the emperor to check the household tax. The old man wanted to resign several times, but the old lady refused to live or die. Scolding the old man is useless. Shui Yue shook her head and said, "After scolding the master, he began to train his wife, and then the master didn't dare to mention it again." ”

When Shen Qianran heard this, his heart was heavy, and he didn't want to inquire about these things anymore.

It didn't take long for Shui Yue to cook a few dishes, Shui Yuxing hurriedly said that he was going to find a bottle of good daughter red in the suite, and by the way, he went to call Shui Mi also, and the sisters drank a cup happily,

Shen Qianran sat down, took the new tea offered by Shui Yue, fiddled with the tea lid and asked, "Shenru went to the farm, what about the fourth aunt?" When she returned to the Shen Mansion, with the character of the fourth aunt, she didn't even come out to shout a few words, it seems that she must have sent Ryan away.

When Shui Yue heard this, she couldn't help but laugh softly, "I said that the second lady still didn't believe it, when the princess got married, the most unaccustomed thing was that the fourth aunt was singing in the courtyard all day long, and she was jealous of her youth, so she made a mistake and sent her away." ”

"Does it mean that she hasn't been out for many years, and she is going to be sent to the nunnery for cultivation?" In those years, Old Madam Shen didn't think about sending her away, but she couldn't find her fault. The fourth aunt keeps making small mistakes, but she never makes big mistakes. If you really want to get rid of her, that's the reason.

Shui Yue nodded, and continued, "But the fourth aunt was not happy, and made a fuss, and finally made trouble, the fourth aunt has been married to the master for so many years, and she is still a yellow flower girl." ”

"Huh?" Shen Qianran couldn't believe it, since she started to remember, her father spent time in the fourth aunt's room, how could the fourth aunt be a yellow flower girl?

"The old lady was the most angry about this, and she had to skin the fourth aunt alive. The old lady scolded the fourth aunt for talking nonsense, obviously framing the reputation of the master, and the people outside thought that the master couldn't ......" Shui Yue's tone was suffocated, although the women of the rivers and lakes had no taboos, but in the end they were not out of the cabinet, and they were embarrassed to say that word, Shen Qianran also blushed, and asked softly, "What next?" ”

"The old lady invited Wen Po, and after a check, it turned out that it was really a yellow flower girl. Old lady, no? p> Playing slowly, slowing down the rose, the strings, the swaying, the remaining fat, the collapse ┠, the string dirt, the sting, the flustery, the panic, the sac, the tang, the @ play, the p, the annoyance, the value of the riddle, the gnat, the lie, the concubine, the ostrich, the Song Er, the carbuncle sac, the tang, the ant, the ant, the banyan song, the forgiveness!?p>

"Look at the leopard with spots, look at the widow face of Princess Nariyan, maybe the lord has never touched her until now." Shui Mi smiled as she walked in, "The old lady is so tired that she forces the old lady to go to the princess's room on the fifteenth day of the new year, and her old man sets up a long couch to keep vigil outside the door!" ”

"What do you say?" I picked up a pot of sprinkled water jade just when I heard it, so I hurriedly approached it curiously. It's really new.

"After the princess gets married, the lord just refuses to round the house!" Shui Yue replied with some embarrassment.

Shen Qianran instantly understood that Old Madam Shen had indeed done this.

"This year, the old lady is full of spirits, don't say that this spring and autumn, that is, on the night of winter, dozens of pots of carbon fire have been burned there to guard, even if the old man is in disobedience, he came out of Ruian's room in the middle of the night and went to the lady's room. Cheng Ri muttered, saying that she had to let the lord and the princess give birth to a grandson for her to hug! ”

If Ryan really gave birth to a son, it would be different for the old lady, it would be a kind of royal blood.

"It's good that we know the inside story, but if we don't know, we think that the old woman has been widowed for decades and learned to listen to the corner!" Mizumi has a bold temperament and laughs without taboo. She has been waiting for Ning Chang'an for so many years, and she is very dissatisfied with the old lady.

"Listen to the corner of the wall......" Shen Qianran's eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth gradually raised, his eyes were full of precision, and he almost said to himself, "It's hard for her old man......"

In the evening, Shen Qianran had just finished eating and helped Shui Yu Shui Yue pack up and bring back the things together, when an urgent call came from afar, "Ah Ran, Ah Ran, come out quickly...... Come out and let my brother see ......"

"Big brother......" Shen Qianran was instantly surprised, rushed out, and saw Shen Yichen running towards her in a military uniform from a distance.

"Big brother!" Tears instantly filled his eyes, and Shen Qianran ran towards Shen Yichen with his feet, like when he was young, he threw himself into his brother's arms.

Shen Yichen laughed, his voice was clear and powerful, he picked up his sister with his waist in the air and turned around a few times, shouting in his mouth, "Ah Ran Ah Ran, you are finally back!" ”

When they stood and looked at each other, their expressions were shining with excitement, especially Shen Qianran, whose eyes were shining, and there was a kind of thrilling amazement!

Shen Yichen instantly remembered the pale and weak sister at that time, his nose was sore, he suddenly hugged his sister into his arms, stroked the long hair on her back and sighed, "Ah Ran, Ah Ran, Ah Ran...... Over the years, the eldest brother has thought badly about you, especially in the first year, when the eldest brother thought of you being a weak woman and left home, the eldest brother's heart hurt like a sharp knife. I still don't know how I survived that year. Fortunately, with the news of your uncle, the eldest brother didn't dare to make a noise, but only dared to tell his father and mother that you were living well and safely, and your uncle took care of you. The poison in your body has been cured. ”

"Big brother, I didn't cry just now, don't make me cry again!" Shen Qianran cried with joy, and looked at Yingqing's brother with teary eyes, "But the eldest brother has changed a lot." I heard my mother say that you went to the northwest with the third prince to fight for a year. When I came back, my whole person changed. ”

"Yes, now my brother has been promoted to the commander of the forbidden army. Ah Ran, you have become cheerful too! Shen Yichen stroked his sister's hair, and said with a smile, "What should I do, such a beautiful sister, how much thought do you have to add to be an elder brother to help you block those wild bees and butterflies!" ”

"Brother, you don't even speak in a different tone now, you used to be like Si Swenwen!"

"Hey, I have to change, mixed in the martial arts, if I look like a sick scholar, I will definitely drown those little soldiers." Shen Yichen suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "God's gift, I heard what my uncle said, bring it to my brother to see!" ”

"Ci'er is in this ......" Behind him, under the pear blossom tree, a small head poked out from behind the trunk, and a pair of big colored eyes kept looking at Shen Yichen, and the little expression was clearly still vigilant.

"Ci'er, didn't my mother mention to you, do you have an uncle?" Shen Qianran walked over and gently took his son's little hand.

"Uncle......" The little guy looked Shen Yichen up and down suspiciously, and said to Shen Qianran with a confused expression, "But, why is the uncle different from Ci'er's heart?" ”

Shen Yichen took a step forward, squatted down to look at the little guy at eye level, and asked softly, "What kind of uncle is the little Tianci in his heart?" ”

The little guy tilted his little head and thought for a while, then stood back, with one hand behind him, the other hand making the appearance of shaking a fan, and turning his little head to make a sour appearance, which made the brothers and sisters laugh.

Shen Yichen gently scratched the little guy's nose and said funny, "It turns out that in our little Tianci's heart, my uncle is so rancid, tell my uncle, did your mother teach you?" ”

"Not really!" Shen Qianran blinked his eyes and gently defended, "I only told Ci'er that his uncle is familiar with the scriptures and is a scholar full of experience. ”

The little guy looked up excitedly, "Yes, yes, my mother said that Mr. Ci'er is familiar with the scriptures."

, full of experience, Mr. is often like this. ”

The brother and sister couldn't help but laugh again.

"Ah Ran, my brother ran out of the temporary shift with someone, tonight the emperor in the palace has a banquet, and my brother has to go back." Shen Yichen's expression was slightly cautious, and he said lightly, "There have been a lot of things in the palace these days, and it is difficult for my father to come out, and I may not be able to see him for a while, but my brother will bring your situation to my father." Ah Ran, you also have to take care of yourself, and you have to put more thought into your home, now this family is not the Shen family before. If you can, you might as well move to your uncle's. ”

"Brother, this is the Shen family, why should I move out and let them dance wildly? If they want to go, they will go. Brother, you have time to persuade Dad to take care of his health. Wait for Ah Ran to pick him up! She knew that once she returned safely, it would prick someone's nerves, and her father's life would be even more difficult.

Shen Yichen shook his head and said, "Ah Ran, you don't have to do anything, take care of Ci'er, I believe in my brother, my brother will be able to solve it soon, it won't be too long!" ”

Shen Qianran didn't say anything, just looked at his brother and smiled.

Shen Mansion Chaoyan Pavilion is the new pavilion built up one after another after Princess Ruian got married, the building is near the water, the building is three stories high, the style of the building is similar to the palace, the atmosphere is extraordinary from a distance, even if it is a cornice, a window lattice is carved with all kinds of flowers, birds and animals.

Since Zhong Yanan returned to the room, he ignored Ryan with a pout, expressing his strong dissatisfaction with his mother.

Ryan didn't bother to pay attention to her, and when he arrived at the bedroom, he went to the dressing table to find a box, flipped through an account book, and read it again and again, frowning deeper and deeper between his eyebrows, and he couldn't remember that his daughter was still sitting aggrieved.

"Mother's ......" Zhong Yanan finally couldn't hold his breath, stood up, walked to Princess Ryan's side, pulled her arm, and stomped her foot heavily.

Ryan's deep-locked eyebrows didn't have time to disperse, and Zhong Yanan's slightly gloomy appearance was slightly taken aback, and he couldn't care about being coquettish anymore, and asked softly, "Mother, did something happen?" ”

Ryan shook his head and pretended to smile lightly, "It's nothing, it's just that I looked at some old things, and I was so fascinated." By the way, what did you just call me? ”

Zhong Yanan was relieved now, and the squeamishness of her daughter's family came up again, her eyes turned red in an instant, and she said negatively, "Mother, I see that your mind is not on your daughter now, your daughter has been bullied, and you still ask your daughter what is the matter!" ”

Ryan shook his head lightly and said, "If you had half of your eldest sister's wisdom, you wouldn't be able to say a word to that girl today." Nan'er, you are a big girl now, remember, learn to look at the shape clearly first, don't always rush out like a stunned head, and end up making jokes for nothing. ”

"My daughter is angry, it's not because the girl is aggressive!" Zhong Yanan's face was full of gloom, his willow eyebrows frowned, and he sat down next to Princess Ruian, "Mother, tell your daughter, is there any way to cure that girl?" My daughter's breath can't be smooth! ”

Ryan didn't hear it, she looked at a finch on the branch outside the window, her eyes turned a little dark and obscure, and she almost said to herself, "Her face really looks like Ning Chang'an!" ”

Zhong Yanan didn't understand the meaning of Rui'an's words, but she was shocked by the rare cruelty on her mother's face, and she didn't dare to open her mouth to pester her mother again.

She is the daughter of her father's unfavored, when she fell in love with the new champion at a glance, she ran to plead with her father shyly and timidly, and her father obviously agreed at first.

But after knowing that Shen Yueshan and the concubine of the Ning family were in love, regardless of the promise to her, he actually gave an order to give marriage to the two of them.

She became one of the most luxurious jokes in the capital.

Every time she recalled this period of the past, it was like a rusty and blunt iron object, grinding into her heart little by little, she sat motionless, looking out the window with dilated eyes, and her dignified face faded in color.

What is love, if it was love at first sight for Shen Yueshan when she was a girl, then after nearly twenty years, even the bones began to shatter, let alone a heart?

Ignoring the opposition of the Zhong family, she agreed to the imperial brother's proposal and married the Shen family, just wanting to take revenge on Ning Chang'an for the humiliation she suffered back then.

However, Shen Yueshan was as stubborn as he was twenty years ago, even though the man was gray-haired, he still refused to look at himself more.

"Princess...... Her Royal Highness ...... Princess" Qiushuang, the palace maid, hurried in, her eyes flashed with excitement, she didn't notice the abnormality of this mother-daughter relationship, because at this time, her mind was full of those white flowers and silver.

"What's the matter, shouting loudly, bothering you!" Zhong Yanan stepped forward and kicked her angrily.

Qiu Shuang was kicked coldly and screamed in pain, only to find that Princess Ryan's expression was a little abnormal. She rubbed her feet and wondered if she should tell the princess what she heard. Suddenly, I squinted and saw the account book next to the dressing table, and I suddenly knew what the princess was worried about.

She endured the pain and stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Princess, the slave maid heard an important news and hurried to report it. ”

"What's the news?" Ryan turned his head in disinterest and glanced at her.

"Just now, the slave maid listened to the bamboo Zhen Yahuan who cleaned the backyard and said, this morning, the second miss of the Shen family returned to the house, and her personal maid Huanshui Jade let more than 100 strong men carry a lot of big boxes in, she made a rough calculation, there are more than 100 boxes."

Princess Ryan snorted coldly, "If it is three years of torn clothes, the things to be used for the four seasons, and the masters and servants put it together, there should be fifty or sixty boxes, who wants it!" ”

Qiushuang shook her head again and again in a hurry, and said, "Guan Jian has two strong men who didn't lift them well, and they turned over, wow, that whole box of pearls, agate and jade rings or something, scattered all over the ground, and the eyes of the people who saw it at that time were straight, how much silver is this worth." ”

Ryan's heart was beating wildly when he heard this, and he was full of annoyance and thought, silver! Silver! Silver! What she lacks most now is silver.

"Mother, it is said that you are now the mistress of the Shen family, this Shen Qianran is your daughter, she has not left the cabinet, and this money should be in your charge." As soon as Zhong Yanan heard the jewelry, he instantly came to his senses, if this belonged to her, then she would be able to show off in front of her cousins every day, yes, and the slut of the Liu family, see if she will dare to rely on her aunt is concubine in the future, and be angry in front of her.

"That's right, but that girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp, how can she obediently hand over this money to the palace?"

"Then you can't watch this money be arbitrarily used by that dead girl?" Zhong Yanan's eyes rolled, and he said, "Mother, you have to scoop out your right to be the housewife, and let her keep it." Otherwise, this money is prone to disaster, and if any thief or something is attracted, won't the whole family suffer with her? ”

"That is, that is, you are a princess, and you are the head of this family, you can't be the master of anything, if she dares to disobey, she will be judged for the crime of disrespecting her elders." Autumn frost immediately joined.

"What thief is the thief? As soon as he came back to show his wealth, he was immediately robbed, was he a thief or a thief? Scooping up such a reason to keep someone's belongings, isn't this waiting for someone to catch the handle? You're so big, you're still a tendon, compared to your eldest sister, it's just an embroidered pillow! ”

Zhong Yanan immediately became depressed, and said dissatisfiedly, "Okay, why are you scooping me to compare with my eldest sister." Thinking about it again, now is not the time to worry about this, she tugged at Ryan's sleeve, "Mother, you think about it quickly, if it's too late, maybe this cheap girl will put things in her uncle's place, and we won't think about it." ”

"You're just nonsense, don't you think it's weird? This was just mentioned in the old lady's room, and this time, she showed her wealth like this, as if it was too coincidental. This qiē, who knows if it was the pit she dug was not, and the dare to love was to lead our mother and daughter to jump. ”

"Mother, you're too cowardly." Zhong Yanan was itchy when she heard the pearl agate, if it was calligraphy or painting, she was not interested, "You are still a princess, she is a girl, no matter how bold she is, she dares to calculate whether you can do it?" Besides, people can calculate, can those things calculate? If you keep these jewels around, they will still eat you? ”

"What nonsense!" Ryan sneered at her daughter, but her heart skipped a beat, "Go down, my mother wants to squint." ”

Zhong Yanan retreated with a disappointed face.

Ryan is in the mood to sleep now, what she lacks most now is silver, if the Ning family stops the money given to Ning Changan every month, then the family will have to shrink their clothes and diet immediately, otherwise within three months, the old lady will find out that she has moved the belongings in the treasury.

The 700 miles of fertile land in her name was pledged to the wealthy Gao family in Zhengzhou as early as six years ago, and the so-called 300 household tax rewarded by her father was located in the deserted land, where the people couldn't even support themselves all year round, so how could the silver be handed over to her?

After Zhong Hou died, she left a sum of money for her, but in order to save face, she refused to reduce her pomp. How much money will be shed in a year for holding various banquets. Gradually, she couldn't do it, and those friends began to drift away from her. met her, although she was good-looking, she privately mocked her as an emperor's unfavored daughter, and her husband died, to put it bluntly, she was a good-looking and useless princess.

In those years, even Zhong Yanan suffered a lot from her cousin.

After marrying the Shen family, Mrs. Shen happily handed over the home to her, and after she deliberately delayed it, she realized that the Shen family looked shabby, and it turned out to be a small treasury. At the beginning, she just wanted to repair the Shen family's house, but later found that there were few servants and guards at the door of such a mansion and it was really impossible to support the scene, so the more people were raised, and those friends in the old days began to visit the door slowly, and the banquet was more, and the money was paid faster.

Old Madam Shen has always thought that she was using her own money to do things for the Shen Mansion, and with her status as a princess, the old lady was extremely relieved of her. Therefore, I never ask about the expenses of the family.

That night, Ryan had almost sleepless nights, thinking all night, thinking about the overdrafts listed in the dense ledger and shaking the real money.

It wasn't until early in the morning that I had a clear plan in my heart, thinking: This time, we must let that mother and daughter go to the same place!

As soon as his mind was relieved, drowsiness struck, and he immediately fell asleep in a drowsy.

Nearly noon, Qiushuang led seven or eight maids to come in and wait, and when it was time to comb her hair, Qiushuang stepped forward to wait, and said, "Princess, the second lady went to the eldest lady's house early in the morning." The slave and maid seemed very upset when they looked at her. Do you want the slave to send someone to pick up the second lady back? ”

"Come on, she went to the boss's side, and she didn't touch the nail yet, and she will come back obediently before night." Ryan sighed in her heart, this daughter's temperament is so impatient, and she can't hide her thoughts, how dare she reveal half of her plans in front of her.

"What about the girl?" Ryan asked casually.

"I went out with the people in that room, saying that I was going to see the people of the Ning family." Autumn Frost was extremely careful with her words, lest she provoke Ryan's displeasure.

"This time, the old lady didn't stop me." Ryan sneered, there was a gloomy and terrifying face in the bronze mirror, on weekdays, even if Ning Changan had his own yard, Old Madam Shen would give her a face.

The old lady looked unhappy, but she didn't say anything, the slave estimated that the second lady of the Shen family said those words yesterday, and the old lady Shen was a little short of breath.

"Useless old fellow, come on, you don't have to cook here at noon, I'll go to the old woman's. Just a reminder of what she should do for herself. Ryan picked out a white jade inlaid purple east bead hairpin and handed it to Qiushuang, "Insert it in the back." ”

Old Madam Shen couldn't even eat lunch, she was half-propped up on the couch, and Ming Feng carefully persuaded her.

The more Mrs. Shen thought about it, the more angry she became, and now that the girl came back as if she was a person, she heard that Mama Guang came back to report that Shen Qianran came back as if she had brought a lot of gold and silver treasures back, and she entered the door directly from the backyard and moved to her own courtyard.

The old lady was angry that he didn't even say a word to the elder ward, as if she was guarding against the Shen family like a thief, could it be that one of her elders would swallow her money?

Now, these two girls are full of momentum, and even Ning Chang'an has enough confidence, but she doesn't know how to look at her face today, and insists on going out to show her ugliness, isn't this a shame for her son?

It's all gone, and I'm embarrassed to walk out of the door!

was annoyed, and suddenly heard the greetings of the maid-in-law outside, and guessed that it was Princess Ryan who arrived. She sat up from the couch, Ming Feng hurriedly stepped forward to help the old lady put on her shoes, and as soon as she stood up, she heard? The sound of the swaying jade pendant with a clanging bell.

Ryan looked at the dishes on the table that were almost untouched, smiled and stepped forward to help the old lady, and asked with concern, "What's the matter, the cook at home is not appetizing?" ”

Old Madam Shen sighed, but did not speak.

"You have to take care of your body, come, let your daughter-in-law wait for you, and you have to eat some." Ryan helped the old lady to the table and sat down, stood by himself, scooped the spoon himself, picked out some dishes that looked lighter in color, and put them in front of the old lady.

"Ryan......" Old Madam Shen was silent for a while, and her voice was a little choked when she called her, "I'm really unhappy in my heart!" ”

"Daughter-in-law understands!" Ryan smiled faintly, with sadness in his eyes, "Mother, don't you have me?" I'm not going to come and eat with you right away. ”

Ruian saw that the old lady didn't have much appetite, so he ordered all the dishes to be withdrawn, and instructed Qiushuang, "You go to Guidelou, let that Chef Liu personally take charge of the cooking, make eight dishes and four soups and send them to the house, remember to explain, the old lady has no appetite, the first few dishes must be appetizing." ”

"Why waste all this money!" Old Madam Shen has also eaten a banquet in Guidelou a few times, and the dish is really not something that the chef at home can cook, but that meal is also amazingly expensive, almost half a month's meal expenditure of the Shen family.

"Mother, silver is to be scooped and spent, otherwise it would be a dead thing. What's more, I'm filial to you as a daughter-in-law, and I feel sorry for what kind of money. Ryan got up gently, gave Ming Feng a look, asked her to step back, and personally scooped the old lady and pinched her shoulder.

"Hey, I'm so old, I don't know what blessings I can cultivate to attract a caring person like you." Old Madam Shen sighed lightly, tilted her head slightly, and her face was full of guilt, "Ryan, this child will find out about you sooner or later, you are still young, and the days to come will be very long, you can bear with him for a while, if you are lucky enough to have a grandson, then the family will be happy!" ”

When Ryan heard this, his heart was about to bleed, still young? It's all forty! Grandson? Your donkey son won't even touch the horn of his clothes, who will I go to have a grandson with?

But he still smiled gently, "Mother, where are you, you can eat if you can, enjoy it if you can, why do you care about these things, as the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." ”

Guidelou is worthy of being the best sprinkler building in the capital, and in less than half an hour, the dishes were sent over one after another.

Old Madam Shen listened to Princess Ryan talk about the practice and exquisiteness of each dish, and at the same time enjoyed Princess Ryan's occasional deliciousness, and the depression in her heart gradually dissipated.

"Mother, Chiran should be seventeen, right?" Princess Ryan peeled a dried nine-section shrimp and put it in the bowl of Old Lady Shen, and asked casually.

"Almost, just remember that she was born in the winter!" At that time, she was still looking forward to having another male grandson, and waited outside the delivery room for most of the day in the cold weather, and gave birth to a daughter, but fortunately, Shen was also four months pregnant at that time.

"It's a pity, if the marriage of the prince of the county hadn't been withdrawn, our Shen family would have been able to marry off their daughter in a beautiful way this year." Ryan cleaned his hands under Qiushuang's waiting, raised his head and ordered, "When the guys from Guide Lou came, I told them to slow down a few dishes, and they didn't eat a few bites, and they started to get cold!" ”

Old Madam Shen sighed gloomily, "It was a marriage given by the first emperor, hey, it is said that this marriage has been engaged for more than ten years and has been safe and sound, and I don't know what kind of madness that girl had for a while, what thoughts she had in her heart, and she kept saying that she looked down on the prince of the county." At that time, the face of the prince of the county was dark, and I, as an elder, couldn't salivate and beg for it? ”

Ryan hurriedly lowered her head and slowly drank the dried snow clam soup, she was afraid that the instant gloom on her face would be seen by the old lady.

Why did the first emperor give this will, Mrs. Shen didn't know, she knew it clearly.

The first emperor has always reused Shen Yueshan, and when he nominated the champion in the Golden Palace, he once recited Shen Yueshan's champion text on the Jinluan Palace, and then said seven times in a row. said that he is a rare talent in a century.

The first emperor was grateful to the ancestors of the Ning family for their full support for the founding of the Lan family, and the generation of the Ning family was even more important. Therefore, even if she fell in love with Shen Yueshan at that time, the first emperor still gave Shen Yueshan and Ning Changan a marriage.

In the year when the first emperor was about to die, he knew the grievances between the current emperor and Shen Yueshan, and in order to let the prince at that time let go of the Shen family, he deliberately gave the newborn Shen Qianran to the concubine of the king of Huainan County, hoping that the power of the king of Huainan County could ensure the safety of the Shen family.

It's a pity that Shen Qianran spared no mercy and lost such a lofty marriage in vain.

"If you retreat, you will retreat, and I'm afraid that I can't find a better one for Qianran's current appearance?" After a little relaxation, Ryan raised his head, took the hot towel handed by Yahuan, and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"That charm, maybe it's a blessing or a curse!" Old Madam Shen's eyes flashed with disgust.

"Mother, I have an idea, it's a very good thing for the Shen family and Qianran, but I don't know what my mother means?" Ryan moved his chair closer to Old Madam Shen, and waved his hand to let all the waiters around him retreat.

"Tell me about it?"

"It's March now, and after the fifteenth of this month, Xiling will start the draft, and this time I heard that Concubine Zhen is in charge. The meaning of the daughter-in-law is to let Qianran fight. ”

"That's not right, is it?" The old lady naturally knew the past between Ning Chang'an's emperors. Ning Changan's matter has not been completely resolved, and if he has to send another daughter to poke out some basket, it will be enough for the Shen family to collapse, "That second girl has that temperament, I'm worried that it will be the same as her mother, if it doesn't work well, it will bring a big disaster." ”

"Can it be the same? Back then, Ning Changan had someone in his heart, so he naturally refused, but now Qianran has no person in his heart, who will refuse the glory and wealth in front of him! What's more, my imperial brother is still in his prime, if he can give birth to a little prince, in another twenty years, he may be able to succeed, and it is unknown to sit in that position, old lady, think about it, you will be the most noble woman in the world at that time! But he sneered in his heart, don't say that there will be no such day, even if there is, your old bones are dry.

When Mrs. Shen heard this, her heart suddenly fluctuated, yes, if the descendants of the Shen family can produce an emperor, then she can go underground to explain to her husband when she dies. Although tempted, the old lady still felt that this was not very practical, stretched out her left hand that was crawling with green tendons, and held one of Ryan's hands, "I'm still a little worried, I've been thinking about it, if the child she brought back is hers, wouldn't she ...... It's not a yellow flower girl sent to the palace, this is a big crime. When she saw Ning Tianci for the first time, she thought that this child might be the grandson of the Ning family, but the child kept calling Shen Qianran as her mother, and she began to feel uneasy again.

That day, she didn't ask Ning Tianci about the origin, she was just worried, it was better to open one eye and close one eye and observe first, if it was really a wild seed born from the outside by Shen Qianran, she would never be soft. Now the reputation of the Shen family can't fall into the hands of this girl.

Ryan looked at the old hand with black spots and green muscles, held back his nausea, looked away and smiled and reassured, "This daughter-in-law has also thought about it, and the daughter-in-law can conclude that this child must not be hers." How old is that kid, you think? Two years old, right, was she pregnant when she left with Ah Ran? Old lady, you know this best, not to mention listening to the slave at home, this girl was fed poison by Mama Guo's slave back then, even if she has a child, can she still live? Mother, the child's surname is Ning, so the daughter-in-law concluded that he is a child of the Ning family, especially a pair of eyes, at first glance, he is a member of the Ning family. ”

Ryan knew that when it came to this, Old Madam Shen must have been moved, and she deliberately said softly, "However, this is also the wishful thinking of the daughter-in-law, if Chang An and the mother and daughter of the girl don't nod, the husband's temperament will definitely follow their mother." Forget it, old lady, worry about it when this palace is white. Honguyahara was just thinking that if Qian Ran was lucky enough to be looked down upon by the imperial brother, the imperial brother might be happy and smile with the Shen family to solve his grievances. ”

Old Madam Shen's eyes lit up, she pursed her thin lips tightly and thought, and after a while, she patted her head and said, "Okay, done!" It's good for you to mention this. There is no need to ask her about this, mother and son, when it was time for the draft, you scooped up Geng Tie and reported it to her. When the decree comes, she will obey it if she doesn't obey it. ”

Ryan waited for Mrs. Shen's words, her heart jumped, but she replied lightly, "Okay!" The old lady can rest assured that the daughter-in-law will definitely handle it properly for you. ”

The appetite suddenly opened, and it happened that Qiushuang shouted outside again, "Your Highness, the man is here, do you want to go up now?" ”

"Pass it on!" At this time, Ryan sneered frequently in her heart, this time, she not only successfully pushed Shen Qianran into the fire, but also took Shen Qianran's property in disguise.

Asking Shen Qianran to hand over her belongings for safekeeping is not a long-term solution after all, when she leaves the cabinet, she will definitely ask for it back, and when the time comes, what money will she scoop back?

But entering the palace is different. What woman doesn't go in empty-handed?

After returning from Ning Changxian's mansion, the sky was already dark, Shen Qianran quit his mother, hugged the sleeping Ning Tianci, and returned to his own courtyard.

"Second Miss, I'll give you water to bathe."

"Good!" Today is indeed a little tired, Shen Qianran put Ning Tianci lightly on the bed, turned around and ordered, "Shui Yu, go pick a few reliable maids-in-law, you don't need to be busy with these trivial things." ”

"It's hard to find, this house may be full of Ryan's people, if you let someone with a heart into our courtyard, it is really impossible to prevent it."

"You don't have to look for it in the house, you can buy a few outside, the younger ones can't hide their hearts if they are simpler, they can just do some trivial work." Shen Qianran put the tent, took off his skirt by himself, walked to the bronze mirror in a cyan obscene clothes, slowly untied the hairpin ring, and a green silk flowed like a waterfall.

She sat quietly at the desk on the windowsill, at this time, the dense plum branches outside the window refracted the white moonlight lowly, and the mottled light cast a faint haze on the side of her face.

She sat quietly, thinking about the deep affection between her father and mother who had walked all the way from her mother's mouth, her lips were slightly raised, and she thought that it was time for her parents to leave Xiling far away, otherwise her next plan would be difficult to move forward.

"What are you thinking, so happy?" A man's soft laughter came from the window, she stroked her forehead and shook her head helplessly, now, this time will quietly appear in front of her boudoir, except for Lan Ting, it will not be anyone else.

She didn't understand how this man's energy could be so strong. As far as she knows, since yesterday, the emperor has held a banquet in the palace to welcome Nangong Ye, the prince of Dongyue, who has come from afar, and Lan Ting, as the most popular prince next to the emperor now, will definitely not be able to get out.

Outside the window, a black brocade robe in the Lanting stood in the moonlight, his eyes were like water, and he looked at her quietly with a pool of affection, with a half-clear look, as if reading every change in her expression.

She turned around and walked to the bed, gently lifted the curtain, and the little one spread his limbs on his back, and snorted with a half-red mouth. Shen Qianran glanced at his son greedily a few times, Fang slowly put down the tent, and when he looked back, there was no wave.

When he opened the door, Lan Ting was already leaning on the railing by the door, holding a food box in his hand, seeing her, he immediately raised the food box in his hand with his eyebrows and eyes, and his lips outlined a beautiful arc, "Bring it to the little guy, it's just right to be chilled until tomorrow morning." ”

Shen Qianran took it quietly according to her words, and just wanted to scoop it back, but seeing that the person behind her obviously wanted to follow her footsteps to go in, she quickly turned around and gently ordered, "Wait outside, I'll come out!" ”

"Good!" The corner of Lan Ting's eyes bent, and he hooked a charming smile that captured people's hearts.

He felt that he was not far from madness, and he was overjoyed that she had not driven him away.

Shen Qianran really came out quickly, gently covered the door, ignored him, and walked straight to the plum tree in the courtyard. This season, the plum blossoms have been all gone, and the bare branches are left, which has pressed the spring to a little bit.

Lan Ting followed her footsteps, and her heart began to go up and down again, thinking about whether to ask her about Ning Tianci.

When he saw the little guy for the first time in Andu Town, he quietly sent the secret guard to Dongyue, and four days ago, before returning to the capital, he had already determined that Ning Tianci was not Ning Changxian's grandson, but Shen Qianran's biological son.

At that time, his first reaction was that Tianci was his flesh and blood, but when the dark guard reported the record of Ning Tianci's birth to him, his Buddha was sucked into an abyss, a deep canyon that was extremely dark.

Ning Tianci's gestation time was a month earlier than his encounter with Shen Qianran in Jialan Temple.

At that moment, he even had the heart to be cheap, and he wanted to rush to her several times to question her, but doing so would only push her further.

After returning to the capital, he couldn't bear not to see her, because he was too afraid that she would tell him directly that the child was Lan Jin's.

But at today's palace feast, Lan Jin happened to be sitting directly opposite him, he couldn't control his eyes, he always stared at Lan Jin's indistinguishable face, and the more he looked at the outline, the more similar it was to Ning Tianci.

That night, his heart seemed to be scratched by someone scooping a dogtail grass, and the feeling was more maddening than the immediate pain, and he couldn't sit, stand, or walk, and even began to speak incoherently.

In the end, he didn't care about being rude, and after leaving the banquet, he ran towards the imperial dining room.

"What's the matter?" She sat down and looked at him with a tired look in her eyes.

He looked at her unwarm eyes, a bleak helplessness, mixed with the loss slowly rising and spreading in his heart, "Nothing-what! Just wanted to come and see you! The moment he spoke, Lan Ting decided not to ask, he had already made up his mind, whether the child was his or not, he would only be the same as he always had to her.

She raised her head, quietly looked at a round of moons in the sky, and suddenly spoke, "You and I, just like this round of moons, seem to be very close, but they are far away. She turned her head to look at him, her eyes looked at him like a pool of stagnant water, and said softly, "People say that words can deceive people, but eyes can't." Third Highness, take a good look at my eyes, there is a part of joy in them that you came to see me late at night. ”

Lan Ting didn't answer, he looked at her quietly, under the moonlight, her facial features were crystal clear with a layer of soft broken light, and she was thrillingly beautiful!

Time is like flowing water, with a slight wave, quietly flowing between the two.

"Third Highness," the corners of Shen Qianran's mouth cracked slightly, and his eyes were like cold moonlight, "Look, this is us, relatively speechless." I don't think you came to the third watch in the middle of the night, just to give Ci'er a box of fish tart. You have something, but you don't know how to open your mouth, because you are wondering if you can say these words. This thought must have hesitated in your heart a thousand times, but at the last moment, you still can't open your mouth. ”
